In a lot of places you can legally cross the street at the corner regardless of whether there is a crosswalk and drivers are legally required to stop.

But yea if they don’t stop and you are dead you’re dying words can be, “I had the right of way, motherfuh- cough cough”

@burntbutterbiscuits @NarrativeBear I always told my kids, as they approached driving age, that the laws of physics trump the laws of man where cars are involved.

My first girlfriend’s dad use to always say “two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time” he was a science teacher lol

I feel like the safest driver on the road in my '69 Boson GT.
