Would be interesting if it was not a taxi driver, but some "important" people within the inner circle.

Feel sad for the taxi uncle but was there anything he can do back then?

I am curious. How did they get the reaction time? I remember a scene from the movie on captain sully on the landing on the Hudson River.

In the movie, pilots on simulator could land the plane safely at the airport.. then it was found the pilots did 17 practice runs before the successful one which was shown as demonstration.

It is easy to say in hindsight this person will dash out here cos you already know this will happen. But at the time when you were driving, this might just be someone standing at road side.

Reaction time is also complicated. If you were focussed on the man, yes maybe you could have stopped. But this focus would mean you are not looking elsewhere.

yup the law will always favor the pedestrian over vehicle, regardless drunk or no drunk.

you are suppose to be slow enough to notice and brake in time

now road is 70km/h, how to siam?

The laws are not written for the peasants

How do you know the drunkard is not a peasant?
