Where I see it breaking down is when they design the sotware to suit different countries views on Jaywalking. If it is designed for countries where the laws are applied it will assume that people will behave predictably and not suddenly leap out without warning .
I didn't realize that he deliberately rode into her. I thought he tried to avoid her and she stepped back into him. or his path. Apologies, my mistake. I don't know if she is annoying or not, I've never met her.
And stepping into the road without looking was very poor pedestrianing. I learned not to do that in infancy. "Stop, look both ways, wait for a gap and then cross". Its not rocket science. Even kids can do it. If this young woman had there wouldn't have even been an accident.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think we shouldn't ride into people, deliberately or not. It's a bit annoying when people pay zero attention, because it puts more onus on everyone else - it doesn't justify knocking them over tho. The stepping back thing is entirely foreseeable, and arguably caused by his use of the airhorn.
It's all part of the endless campaign to teach people to get out of the way of cars. I see it's worked on you.
No cars involved
