Yep, trucker is 100% responsible even if the crossing guard wasn't there.

wouldn't matter. The other person is 100% dead.

You can't legislate morality, skill, common sense, intelligence, and you can't legislate away evil, corruption, hate, and stupidity.

SO, when you are in a street, ALWAYS BE LOOKING.

I also have to think the person run over had earbuds in since they didn't even seem to hear the big Diesel truck.

I once saw a firetruck almost run over a kid walking through an intersection. Had headphones on and was staring down at his phone or ipod. Didn't hear or see a full size fire truck approaching with full lights and sirens on.

Precisely, so it does matter.

No, but we can legislate and enforce laws based on common standards of morality, common sense, and intelligence that sanction the actions of evil, corrupt, hateful, and stupid people.

Good advice.

Mayhaps. Doesn't change the fact that the trucker is responsible.

I'm glad the kid survived.

you know, they should make a law or something to prevent people from being run over. That would have prevented this. The driver of the big truck would have magically stopped the moment before he splattered this dummy and said; "shit, there's a law against me running over some idiot with earbuds that isn't watching, standing out in the street, and can't hear the roar of my big diesel truck over the music of shoe shine boy in their earbuds, even though I should assume no fucking idiot in the world would just be standing there, right in front of my truck"
We need more laws.

The angle of the yellow rain coat should be at least partially visible from the left hand drive driver seat.
The driver's vision might be following the rest of pedestrians movement crossing from his right to left and reluctant to check back the right side again and assuming everyone have crossed.
Don't know what the hell that woman is thinking standing on the pedestrian crossing.

YES......MANY.

these petes have a field of view at about 20 ft in
front of them. maybe 25ft (depends on the seat height)

if you cant see the driver of the truck.....THEY CANT SEE YOU!!!!! period!!!!

[tenny]

actually looks like an international....but same applies here.
petes are actually worse.

thats why alot of times only CAB OVERS are allowed on city
streets. (full field of view).

it what it is....driver never saw her....or the 1 second he did.
assumed she got the fuck outta the way!!!!

Obviously, YOU never been inside of a semi.

you are a MORON kid....really.

im sorry for you.

[tenny]

ask yourself this.....

why did the driver SEE everyone else???? and wait for them to pass??

look at the distance everyone else has.....look at the distance
of the dumb crossing guard.....

can you tell me she can see this driver is his seat???
no she cant....hence why he cant see her....its plain as day.

this driver will never be charged with anything.

air horns are illegal to discharge in city limits.

Idk if I’d say he will never be charged with anything, this did happen in New York, right? And we all know that New York is a democrat run shit hole so if the truck driver is a Republican and/or White then he will almost certainly be charged with something… just the fact that he is/was a working man with a job is bad enough, he’d have a better chance of not being charged if he was a habitual offender criminal or an illegal or gay/trans…

I bet the woman was Asian, or at least she was behaving like a regular Asian woman does on a road/street/freeway/autobahn/forest trail/shortcut
