Chick got hit by a bus on campus..

last time i checked, pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way.

I won't be arguing about the gimp... but I have a serious problem with this mentality/law. People interpret this to mean they have "right of way" (which is a misnomer in the American driving system) and can just do what they want. Just because you're a pedestrian doesn't mean that you can hop right into a crosswalk and expect traffic to stop - that's absolutely unreasonable and shouldn't be protected. You're crossing a _road_, a place where cars travel, and you need to make a reasonable effort to pick a time to cross where you won't endanger yourself or cause cars to have accidents trying to avoid hitting you. Who knows what what happened with the gimp - I just wanted to rant.
