Re: Crossing the Road Like a Blind Mule and Losing His Life
I was surprised as to how fast the dashcam car was able to stop. I thought he'd run over him too.

Re: Crossing the Road Like a Blind Mule and Losing His Life
Yeah in hindsight if he’d stayed in the middle lane with the dashcam car he might have lived. I assume the drivers side of their vehicles are on the right, couple that with the black car speeding and the moment he decided not to hesitate and sprint across the last lane his number was up.

Re: Crossing the Road Like a Blind Mule and Losing His Life
In his defense, he made it to the yellow line before he was hit. The driver swerved in the direction he was running. Poor instincts on the part of the driver there. The runner, now he was stupid, but his timing wasn’t off, per say. Had the traffic continued at the same speed and direction it was going he would have barely scraped out a victory. You just can’t always account for human error and knee-jerk reactions though.

Re: Crossing the Road Like a Blind Mule and Losing His Life
step 1, if you are going to stop in the middle of a high speed road, get the hazard blinkers going  |

No. The "runner" takes ALL the blame.
