Same. Daily. WTAF is so important you have to stare at your phone in a crosswalk?
don't pedestrians have right of way on crosswalks??
Cemeteries are full of people who had the right of way. You still have to pay some basic attention to your surroundings.
I think what the experts are saying is that bigger cars are more deadly. Being distracted wasn't always a death sentence.
The simplest method to get away with murder is causing a car accident.
Yes, but I guess your family can argue that you had the right of way when a giant truck turns you into a hood ornament because you were watching Facebook shorts instead of looking both ways before crossing a street
I guess it's a different situation in Germany compares to the US
How? Please elaborate
Here you can pretty much cross the street on a crosswalk without looking because people are more careful.
According to the laws of man, yes.
According to the laws of physics? Nope.
Phones are an addiction. Every moment of your attention is demanded by social media.
In my cases, there was no crosswalk. Straight up reckless jaywalking.
