Just Because You're the Pedestrian

... does not make you God Of The Sidewalk or Lord Of The Parking Lot.

I know California laws basically give pedestrians precedence over those operating a moving vehicle a good 99.9% of the time. This doesn't mean you become invincible the moment your foot hits the pavement with those Chevro-legs.

There is no magical force field that will deflect the impact of my yellow assassin machine (aka my car) against your gazelle-like scamper from the entrance of the mall to the location of where you think you parked your car. Nor is there some sort of security team to reach out and save your life when you decide "Hey. I'm in charge here. Why bother looking both ways before crossing the street against traffic?" The only two real guarantees you'll receive from that happenstance are:

1. You're going to piss off a lot of motorists.
2. You'll probably get tagged by one of those motorists in the car they're... motoring?

Granted the law may be on your side, but incompetence will only get you an "Oooo. My bad." when your shin finally meets the front grill of my vehicle. And you better not have scratched the paint.
