&gt; You can&#x27;t wilfully hit someone and just say &#x27;my right of way&#x27; and be all in the clear.<p>Willfully perhaps, but if it&#x27;s accidental and all other circumstances being equal I would say that&#x27;s the pedestrian&#x27;s fault. I don&#x27;t understand this logic that because the pedestrian is ignorant about how traffic law works that they&#x27;re exempt from following it, yes the driver should be paying attention at all times and be ready for anything to happen, but if someone breaks a don&#x27;t walk light and just wanders into traffic, they should be held liable for the resulting accident.
