-Push the beg button
-Cross the street with the light
-Driver barrels towards crosswalk ignoring person and light while looking at phone

But seriously, what the fuck is the point of beg buttons and traffic lights if we're still going to blame the pedestrian for getting hit by a car that isn't respecting the rules of the road? Fucking carbrained ass society.
Social darwinism, probably
What the fuck am I going to do with the sound of a car on a road??? I hear that all the time. All the time. Whether I'm crossing the street or not. I'm inside my house sitting at my computer right now and I can hear the sound of cars on the road. What exactly are you expecting me to do with the information that there is a car traveling down the road?! I know there is! There always is! I don't need to hear it to know that! That's why we have STREET LIGHTS and ROAD LAWS which mean that cars are supposed to stop traveling down the road in predictable situations such as WHEN THE LIGHT IS RED or WHEN IM CROSSING THE STREET
no you must scurry like the rat that you are, pedestrian scum.
ITS A SIGNALISED CROSSING
HES THE ONE BREAKING LIKE MULTIPLE LAWS
eta: like literally tho how do you even equivocate between literally running a red light and hitting someone, and literally just using an actual pedestrian crossing
death to America (incl Canada)
Yes like what about deaf people? Or people caring for screaming children that are louder than EVs? Or people crossing the road near any sort of construction?
I drive an old prius. It's completely silent when traveling below 10 miles an hour or so. If I'm exiting a parking lot and didn't back in, there is no audio cues.
wearing 40 pounds of C4 with an impact trigger purely to uno reverse card the car that runs over me
got my walkin' vest on 
thank god i was wearing my explosive reactive armor vest
Just you wait until car manufacturers will start putting Tandem charge heads on the front bumpers. Mainly for SUVs
checkmate, car-brains
She literally did nothing wrong, it's the drivers fault for looking down at his phone, the fuck
Push the beg button and use the crosswalk? Who cares, if you wear a hoodie you should die.
There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.

I no longer cross at zebra crossings if a car is coming even if I have 'right of way', given how frequently drivers just blitz through. The other day I spoke to a lady in her 70s who was taking PT to the local shopping centre to do her exercise there, rather than walk around the neighbourhood, because a car clipped her walking frame when she was crossing with the lights and she cracked her skull.
Shit's fucked. I don't want to become roadkill. Carbrains have won.
There was a 90 year old who was smashed and killed walking down the road in a town nearby yesterday. I don't want to be old just so I can become roadkill.
I've started doing the opposite. Thankfully I'm fairly tall and easily seen, so I frequently am the one to just walk out in front of cars who aren't respecting road safety. Not in the middle of the highway, but if right of way is at all dubious, I've started claiming pedestrian / cyclist always wins. It's a battle I'll become roadkill to fight.
Hell they'll even swerve around you in the crosswalk rather than stop for 10 seconds.
Comrade bus drivers always stop at the crosswalk for pedestrians though
Ugh, ugh, ugh
Fuckin awesome that the people driving 5 ton death machines can try and equivocate walking around with slamming their death machines into people
Pedestrians should carry antimateriel rifles and destroy cars as they approach until all lanes are blocked in order to safely cross
pedestrians should have powered armor equipped with flare/chaff/smoke launchers, deployable explosive and recon drones, hull mounted active protection system, ERA blocks, thermal and infrared optical systems, and a novel magazine fed variant of the Carl G. 84mm recoilless rifle as a primary armament. with a high capacity machine gun/automatic rifle using some kind of AP ammo mounted to the offhand arm. then it might be almost safe to cross the street lol.
they won't even paint a crosswalk for a nearby mosque where i live, they have a cop sit on the side of the road waiting for someone to get hit. no one directing traffic or holding a sign or anything. at least 1 or 2 people have already died because of this that i've heard of.
Royal cringe mounted police
munted police
All of them are getting taped down to pedestrian crossings when we get to power.
Maximum Overdrive (1986) or something idk I’ve never seen it
WHO MADE WHOOO?
I bet this reference is funny Af
It is
You should watch it at least once, just to say you saw the movie that only exists because of cocaine
If I had a time machine I'd go back and flay Henry Ford alive. Whose rolling coal now, motherfucker?
I dont know about your country but in mine its always been legal. All you gotta do is say it was an accident and you wont do any jail time.
Bout to do like that guy who carried a brick to prevent being splashed by drivers ripping through puddles, but just at all times
Fucking carbrains
How does the brick help?
bricks can be thrown
Implicit threat that doesn't need a gun license
There has been one in Florida for some time now to basically make it legal to plow into protestors with your SUV
