Sociology
Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

You're arguing points that were never part of the discussion and are not related to the discussion at all, trying to refute my argument.
That's a strawman, because no shit it's on speeders and impaired drivers if they hit something. And you keep doing it. Again, at no point were crosswalks, speeding, or impaired driving being discussed. You brought that up unprompted.
Maybe it's not an issue where you live, but where I live people walk down streets (not across them) at night in dark clothes, which is stupid and dangerous.
You also seem to have this belief that the driver has to be doing something wrong to hit a road hazard. You're very wrong.
Again, unless you expect everyone to drive 10mph everywhere, the human reaction speed has its limit. You can be doing everything exactly right and still hit an object in the road that's not supposed to be in the road,especially if it takes a few fractions of a second to be able to see them. People count as an object that doesn't belong in the road.
