Dodger, did you notice that those who broke the traffic rule to cross the road usually were a bunch of people? If only one tried to cross the road, he/she might be afraid because the cars just ran and ran. What if a bunch of people? Since there are too many people, the driver has to stop and lets them cross the road. Another reason is that those people know that the driver dare not hit them even if they break the rule to cross the road because they are the "weak group" according to the traffic rule. Even they break the traffic rule, the driver needs to take a certain part of the responsibility.

Persaonally, I think it is unfair. If the pedestrian breaks the rule to cross the road, the driver shouldn't be responsible for the accident because he didn't break the rule. The orginal intention of the rule is to protect the weak group--the pedestrians. However, some people just make use of the rule to cross the road randomly.[/quote]
