These are really not comparable situations at all.  If you ever lived there you&#x27;d know you&#x27;re comparing two very different attitudes.  If you were in an unfortunate accident where you&#x27;re involved with hitting a cyclist or pedestrian, there are certain rules and expectations, right of way, deference to smaller modes of transportation, etc.<p>There the bigger the vehicle the bigger the deference by smaller vehicles by tradition and necessity, it&#x27;s completely opposite.  In addition, you would know that sidewalk and street are one and the same in most places.<p>And the occurrence of backing up to purposely e sure terminal injury is not uncommon in the least.  It&#x27;s in the news, it&#x27;s quite ordinary.
