You don’t need to lecture me, I have been driving safely and avoiding arrogant, ignorant pedestrians all my life.
The point is, people in cities have become accustomed to using noise as their first sense, and vision much later. Sometimes far too late. And if I hadn’t been driving extremely defensively, as always, I would definitely have hit many, many stupid pedestrians with very little self-preservation sensibility.
If you’re a pedestrian, look both ways before you cross the road. Duh.
