I guess it's illegal to, you know, walk on the side of the road then?

Walking on the side of the road at night, wearing reflectors is still a good idea.

I agree, but it is up to the pedestrian to make sure he or she is not in a car's path. Keeping your back turned to cars is stupid. Expecting a car to see a black suit at night is even stupider.

You are in their neighborhood, don't you know that? You need to wait for them, and you should be happy to do so given the fact that they allowed you in their neighborhood in the first place

How dare me

In all seriousness, ABACAB's post reflects much of the mentality around my area.

Everyone walking at night would be safer with some reflective tape.

Not much different than requiring the Amish to have reflectors on their buggy's. Only difference is the Amish follow the rules of the road...
