Sir, you drove into people, human beings, with a 5,000 pound piece of metal. Guilty. Next case.

He drove around another car that was stopped and changed lanes instead of just turning down an unobstructed street...
The only way he gets off is a racist/trumpet gets on the jury
Hang on, yeah, why didn't he just plow into the back of the other vehicle? That was blocking his right of way too!
Iowa Driver's License Manual, page 10, § 2.8 Traffic Signals.
ibid., page 15, § 2.21 Intersections.
There's a part I looked up that he's probably using as his defense and it's something like "Pedestrians get right of way as long as they are making due effort to exit the intersection". Which, okay, that's obviously anti protest but say he has a point and it's valid.
It still doesn't say that he should ram into them with his truck. No where does it say "If a pedestrian is idling in the street you are free and clear to mow them down with your oversized tiny man machine"
Pedestrians always have the right of way.
