To be perfectly fair, bumping people with a car is never "careful." Even going that slow, if somebody fell in front of the car, he's not gonna be able to stop before going over them atleast partially. I mean sure? It'd be pretty dumb for him to be at fault for that though. The car isn't automatically at fault for an auto-pedestrian collision and if the pedestrian was breaking the law the case gets easier and easier for the driver. OliviaTremor posted... I'm cool with protestors but I hate when protestors block traffic on a major roadway. We had a bunch of protestors walk onto the Dan Ryan Expressway here in Chicago like a year or two ago which I believe is the busiest expressway in the US. It sucks. It ruins everyone's commute, people who are now late for their jobs/responsibilities/interviews/flights/etc, totally messes with first responders and emergency services abilities to perform their jobs, etc. I get why protestors would want to do so, but there are so, so, so many downsides it blows my mind. no but don't you understand? that's the POINT! how else are they supposed to get their way if they don't make it a giant battle of attrition? what are they supposed to do, have reasonable demands that DON'T boil down to "continue giving us free stuff we are in no way entitled to?" --- senorhousemouse "I feel like you can't be a real person" - OmarsComin <cite>WhoopsyDaisy posted [p:889249394] in man slowly...
