    "...pedestrians using cellphones are significantly more likely to get smacked by a car than anybody else."

    This is because they make great targets.

    I think part of it drivers too. I couldn't tell you the number of times I've had drivers disregard the laws and almost hit me while I was crossing the street. I've had to jump out of the way of cars and barely been missed on several occasions. Cyclists do it too. Specifically I'm referencing crosswalks without a signal light. Legally, the minute my foot hits that crosswalk, you are required to stop, yet so few cars and bikes do.

    @Nathan Obbards: The part the drivers bring to the table is a constant, "Drivers suck" = constant danger. If you are preoccupied with a phone conversation and let your guard down or stop paying attention when you enter the drivers domain, that your ass. Yes drivers suck. Yes drivers do illegal stuff ALL the time. Yes you need to be on point when negotiating the streets as a pedestrian. Yes wearing a bluetooth earpiece makes you look like a complete and utter toolbag. Solution: Sit down and have a conversation or lean against a wall. Stop pacing around blindly in front of pedestrians (bump), bicycles (ouch), and vehicles (call an ambulance).

    @Puffs: I stop talking and tell people to hold on while I cross in those crosswalks. Cars have had time to stop and I've still slapped the side of cars or jumped out of the way of cars while listening to music or talking on my phone.

    Also, weren't there more people posting here like a couple months ago?

    Just got out of the hospital AGAIN. Hope that's the LAST time for a loooong time. This thread is now one year old, and I reached my 2 year Giz anniversary too. Will the wonders never cease? Or will they LAST?

    If I respond, the crazy system put the person I am responding to on top, and that kind of defeats the purpose. Now first is last and I am IT.
