It’s not a strawman, your reaction to “might die” was “right of way” not “well be safe about it.” Again, right of way is merely a means of standardizing legal culpability, not a means of safety. Ergo, more concerned with legal culpability than safety.
Then it’s just me because you clearly haven’t been reading it.
Btw you ever find that data to back up your fantasy that right of way laws actually affect drivers safety consciousness? 'Cause I still doubt your premise and I asked about it like ten replies ago. If you have none still, I’m done with this conversation.
It’s a strawman and you know it. I’ve said several times that right of way is not a replacement for due care and attention. e.g. “And - duh! - of course we’re careful crossing the street.”, or “Again, we just look both ways and make sure any driver heading in your direction has made eye contact so you know they’ve seen you.”
You’re the one who invented this “the law will protect me so I can jump into traffic blindfold” strawman, not me.
So your state doesn’t recognise jay-walking as a crime? Cool.
You’re arguing with a straw man.
I reckon it’s just the two of us at this point.

That’s what I thought, you have no statistics and your entire claim is baseless.
I’m out, have fun with your legal rulings or whatever.
And you have fun inventing your strawmen! Such fun.
