Maybe we need to bring back blóðhefnd . If a driver murders someone with their reckless driving, maybe they should live the rest of their life in fear that the surviving kin will do the same to them or their lived ones.
Fuck around and find out is a pretty shitty attitude towards people sharing a street. Is that the excuse you will give a parent after injuring a kid that chased a ball onto the street? It isn’t like this is a highway, people have homes on the street. The street is not exclussively for cars, cars just tend to get the most space and priority.
Plus if you’re walking in the road walk against the flow of cars not with. That way if a drunk driver (or just general asshole) comes swerving down the road you can see it and react.
Walking maybe, but bicycles that do this are morons. It’s been proven over and over that it’s unsafe yet they continue doing it — is no one curious about “hey I don’t know if that’s safe, I should check online?”
my dad always said: walk facing toward traffic, and make eye contact with drivers, so they can be haunted by your face for the rest of their lives if they run you over.
I mean, say what you will about cars but the sidewalk is a dedicated lane for pedestrians. Walk on the street, fuck around and find out.

I’d like to know why this was downvoted. Walking against the flow of traffic so you can see what’s coming is sensible advice.

Nobody mentioned bicycles.

Or you could just use the sidewalk?
A lot of the places I lived growing up didn’t have sidewalks.
Rural roads man.
90% of the streets in my neighborhood don’t have sidewalks and I live in a major city. Exactly half of one side of my block has a sidewalk
