[QUOTE="soberups, post: 713926, member: 14668"] It looks to me like the pedestrian was staring down at his cellphone or ipod and wasnt paying attention when he ran right into the path of the car. As far as my routine for crossing the street goes, it depends upon circumstances. If the road is straight or curving towards the driver side...I cross in [I]front [/I]of the package car so as to use the car as a shield and avoid getting trapped between the package car and an oncoming vehicle. If the road is curving towards the passenger side, I cross [I]behind[/I] the package car since there will be a blind spot from the front. Also, a speeding or out-of-control vehicle tends to move towards the outside of the curve that it is in, which will take it away from the back of the pkg car and towards the opposite side of the street.
