Yeah, there are definitely people who believe that there's some universal, blanket statute granting pedestrians the right of way everywhere, in all circumstances. I have no idea how these people don't get run over five times a year.

This is the exact vibe I'm describing in this post. The EXACT vibe. Like they have a magical force field and don't need to even risk assess the car.

These are the people I'm talking about. I should have been more clear. Most pedestrians we're normal. What I'm describing here is that I've noticed the incidence of the "force field" / "sovereign Pedestrians" increasing.
