To be fair on the pedestrian, the cars were far away when she was crossing the road and still much further when she started to cross probably. She obviously misjudged the speed of the cars that were coming towards her. Probably wasn't expecting the cars to be driving so fast. It happens. In my opinion, in this case, drivers fault more than pedestrian. Shouldn't be going that damn fast!

this.

yeah... but the light was red. so how is it the drivers fault for driving through a green light?

God, I wish I cared.

And the driver can probably be found legally responsible because he was raping the speed limits, creating a public danger and threat- that's the whole point in highway regulations. Even with top-notch M3 brakes, jamming the brake-pedal woulda still resulted in one fucked-up pedestrian; when the lights are green, it doesn't mean 'Permission to drive 120mph'. Plus, all road-users owe a duty of care to pedestrians, and vice-versa. When you're coming up to a crossing in the road, regardless of what the road-signs or lights say, you should be using your own fucking head and hazard perception, instead of just gunning it home at twice the speed limit. There is definite legal culpability.

The fact that she wasn't dead is amazing enough.

According to Ioans translation it was a dude and he died.

yeah its got the amg package.... anyways


its 120 kmh, thats 75mph. the limits probably 100 or 60 mph. its probably late at night. 15mph over the speed limit doesnt make you guilty for some stupid girl deciding to walk across a multiple lane street when there are clearly cars going both ways all around. going 75 instead of 60 doesnt mean that if he was driving 60 that he wouldn't have hit her. red means stop green means go its as simple as that and apparently she was colorblind

Limits in the capital are 60 KM/H +10

They were both at fault, and it was a man for fuck's sake.

looks like the rest of the traffic was going about 100

People May the law take into account an additional option. Driver to take part, apparently, a race car illegal. Record shows that in parallel with the machine on which to kill another man comes to car speed almost as great.

Because they were street racing?
Do you really think the city speed limit would be 60-100mph? Jeez...

main streets where I live are 50-55 and at night its not unusual to see 70

At the end of the day the driver will be held responsible because you have to always drive so as to avoid an incident.  It happens all the time, even if someone runs out in front of you, its your fault because you weren't driving in a way that you could avoid hitting them.  At least its like that in Australia...

This is both the pedestrians and the drivers fault. He shouldn't hvae crossed red, and the car shouldn't have been going double (or almost double) the allowed speed. If he wasn't going 120km/h the pedestrian may could have crossed safetly to the middle of the road, but he shouldn't have crossed red (the pedestrian, that is, but then, who don't cross when red?)
