The cause of accidents isn’t just down to the driver. Pedestrians these days don’t seem to care where they walk and will walk across the back of a reversing car. They seem to think that they have right of way and expect cars to give way to them. They will walk in front of a car in the middle of the driveways between the parking lots.
