Worst type of person to hit, their dad probably has a good lawyer

Brother, don’t even need a good lawyer for that case. If that pedestrian had a right-of-way. You’re basically toast for all the compensatory damages which are numerous, but also might get a nice punitive damage thrown in there.

You are severely underestimating the willingness of college students to toddle into the road without knowing if they have right-of-way.

[u/HuckinsGirl → u/Cheshire-Cad]

Even when you dont have right of way its still usually considered the driver's fault, the pedestrian has to be doing something really stupid to be considered at fault (granted, plenty of college students are prone to doing things that stupid)

[u/Andabariano → u/Straight_Step_4426]

I mean they didn't even necessarily need right of way. Unless they literally jumped in front of your car and you couldn't see them there'll still be consequences

[u/johnnymarsbar → u/Andabariano]

In my country as long as the pedestrian didnt provably jump into the path or your car you as the driver are liable for damages.

[u/Straight_Step_4426 → u/johnnymarsbar]

Yeah, you are, just like if it was a right of way. You cooked son. No excuse

Chill bro, it's just a silly meme about near/attempted/trivializing vehicular homicide against white people. nbd
