Generally, yes. In controlled intersections you [being the car] will have the right of way during green lights, advance phases and the like, so if a pedestrian were to jwalk the liability would be on them, sometimes even to the point where they must fix the damage to your car if you hit them.

It's not a recommended past time, however.

[–]Angriestmanever 41ポイント42ポイント  (15子コメント)

As my dad used to say when I was learning how to drive: It is a difference between having the right of way and taking the right of way.

[–]HanlonsMachete 44ポイント45ポイント  (6子コメント)

Here lies the body of Benjamin Nay.

Who died defending his right of way.

He was right, damned right, all along.

But he's just as dead as if he were wrong.

[–]A_Meager_Beaver 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm confused by the last line... so he would have died either way?

[–]HanlonsMachete 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not quite. He died defending his right of way. He was right. But he died, just the same as he would have if he did not have the right of way. He died being right the same way he would have died if he were wrong.

But, had he not challenged the right of way, and just let the other guy be an asshole, he would have lived.

I'm willing to risk my life for right.

[–]A_Meager_Beaver 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ahhh yes, I got it. Thanks for the clarification.

You are not u/poem_for_your_sprog You are not poetry!

[–]HanlonsMachete 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Its not original. Think of it as more like copypasta than poetry.

[–]Corona21 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

wise words, defensive driving is the only way

[–]orichitoxx 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was taught that, when driving, assume every other driver on the road is a moron and drive accordingly.

It seems like peds more and more seem to be claiming their right of way with no regard to their own safety. I always yielded to cars unless they clearly saw me and stopped.

[–]Angriestmanever 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am going to go deep here. I think it is a sign of how detached people are becoming. The rich get richer, the environment and global warming is getting out of control, politicians seems to become more and more insane and dishonest by the hour, and so on.. There is no future so as such getting hit by a car and getting some RnR in a nice hospital with good looking nurses might just tip the scale towards taking more risks as a pedestrian. Aslo, perhaps death wish, and getting killed in traffic is somewhat "honorable" compared to other methods of not continuing living.

[–]Malak77 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

And people are purposely trying to get hit by cars without getting killed so they can sue. I know someone that killed a guy who was a know scammer of this sort.

[–]Lunatalia 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sounds similar to what my mom says: "Having the right of way won't make you less dead. Pay attention to what you're doing."

[–]AgentBawls 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I like the way VA law is written. No one has the right of way. There are just laws about how the driver yields the right of way to another vehicle. So no one has the right of way by law

[–]ILoveMeSomePickles 13ポイント14ポイント  (3子コメント)

Leastways in Michigan, pedestrians always have the right of way.
EDIT: Except in Houghton, so that drivers who can't stop because of ice aren't legally culpable.

[–]esotericnumeric 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Leastways sounds like a nice town.

[–]cosmicsans 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Here in NY the law is a little different. A pedestrian IN a crosswalk has the right of way, however from what I'm told this doesn't apply if there is also a signal for the walkers. I've also been told that pedestrians who enter the crosswalk don't have right of way if the vehicle is already approaching at speed, but I could be wrong.

[–]quinustv 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Michigan Tech student here, I fucking hate Houghtons roads. I'll never understand why they chose to have a town and college on such a steep slope.

[–]Giftedkitty64 11ポイント12ポイント  (5子コメント)

you [being the car] will have the right of way during green lights, advance phases and the like, so if a pedestrian were to jwalk the liability would be on them...

So you're saying I'm a transformer with the right to cause vehicular death in certain circumstances?

[–]jdepps113 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

I am a fake internet lawyer, and not only is that exactly what he said, it's 100% correct.*

*May not actually be correct.

[–]Vacuophile 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fake internet judge here, jdepps113 is indeed correct.

Fake internet jury here, I'm hung.

[–]Blonde_princess 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm pretty sure if someone can prove you knew you were running down a pedestrian and just chose to do it anyway because they didn't have the right of way, you will face criminal charges, but I can't gind any specific laws on it.

[–]Sprinklypoo 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

if a pedestrian were to jwalk

Happens all the time on the vegas strip. I'm pretty sure that if you knowingly ran over a pedestrian that you would be found at fault regardless of right of way though.

[–]Koiq 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah if you hit someone in an area where normally the pedestrian would be at fault but you knowingly hit them / ran them down that's attempted vehicular manslaughter charges.

[–]geppetto123 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Europe is a bit more human friendly: You need to be able to brake at any given time. If your not, drive slower! All this at the same time with highways which allow infinite speed limit (Germany).

Saves a lot of legal stuff and in case one is trying suicide its even easier.

[–]XirallicBolts 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Except, apparently, Russia. From what I've learned in /r/Roadcam, pedestrians can just waltz out and drivers are at fault if they hit, despite having a green light

[–]Koiq 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

No they can't—it's just really hard to prove who is at fault and courts tend to side with the pedestrian, which is why there are so many dashcams, because it unbaisedly proves who is really at fault, and in the case of those insurance fraud pedestrian jump-out things, if caught on dashcam the pedestrian is at fault.

[–]NorbiPeti 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We have intersections where both the pedestrians and cars from one side get green light at the same time...

In practice this means that the cars will wait until there are no pedestrians.

[–]jawocha 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is false in most of anerican. Pedestrians have right of way no matter what. That's what yield or stop for pedestrians is.

[–]Koiq 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not american myself but I'm pretty sure if a pedestrian ran out in the middle of a freeway and got hit the driver wouldn't be liable, or at least they shouldn't be.
