This is the definition of adding insult to injury. The woman made a mistake, was hit by a car, was hopefully uninjured, and you feel the need to call her a “loser”? It’s proper that she be charged (though I didn’t even know “failing to use a crosswalk” was a charge- the error is not making sure there’s not a car coming), but we have to go and mock her as well? Sometimes, people make mistakes (I'm not saying you do; I mean the rest of us do).
King Street near Victoria is hopefully going to be a big mix of different road users who take the stretch nice and slowly to be able to keep an eye out for conflicts. We don’t need fences there to keep people from crossing the street when it’s safe to do so. We should be aspiring to fewer barriers, not more.
