I read it just fine, that's your implication.The pedestrian is responsible for protecting themselves against the tyranny of the SUV. I guess if that's the world you want then vroom vroom mf

Everyone has a responsibility for their own safety. We should do what is reasonable to reduce harm and risk to others, but there is only so much that can be reasonable. If a person wears dark clothing, doesn't use crosswalks, doesn't check for cars etc at what point does their safety become their responsibility?
