Look it up, I think you'll find that pedestrians have 'a right of way'.

"Right of way" simply means that someone is allowed to "Pass and re-pass" across a piece of land, ie they can do it repeatedly and do not need to ask for permission at any time.

The correct term is "priority", ie who gets to go first. At a roundabout, traffic from the right has priority, ie you're required to let it go first. If a pedestrian has set foot on a zebra crossing, they have priority and traffic must stop for them.

However, although you're not allowed to deliberately run them down, some idiot just stepping out into the road does *not* have priority and, if they get hit, may well be deemed to be at fault.

So what you're actually suggesting is by writing *not* and also "may well", you don't really know the exact answer either, just like the rest of us?
Spoken like a true lawyer. :lol


All i know is if you decide to rudely and carelessly step out in front of me then you get to hear the tone of my air horn, which in turn tends to give people a quick lesson in how to River Dance.
When i was a kid the Green Cross Code was drummed into you at school, on tv, posters, in fact it was everywhere. You don't really see that sort of thing these days, it was a proper campaign that was designed to help pedestrians and drivers alike.
Now if you go past a school for instance the chances are a bunch of kids will cross in front of you as slowly as possible with zero eye contact, but if you're really lucky one of them might actually acknowledge you with a middle finger to say "fuck you very much".
How times have changed.  :\
