You are the problem. You are clearly driving too fast. Color of the persons clothing has nothing to do with it.
Of course it does which is why every safety expert in the known universe advises not wearing dark clothing when you walk or run at night. Even within my subdivision i bring a flashlight when i take the dog out after dark so i can be seen. Others in my neighborhood wear reflective clothing. Why do you think bicycles come with relfectors?
I had a claim that was a fatality that happened in a neighborhood with a 25 MPH speed limit. The driver hit a pedestrian and witnesses including the ped's own family said he was going about 20 mph. The ped still hit their head the wrong way and died. Speed isn't always to blame. Just like speed has nothing to do with the 2 cars leaving the scene. That's a failure of morality.

Oh my God, excellent post. You should be rep'ed about 50 times for this statement. HOW TRUE!!!!!
forumites, pay attention and rep twingles for this one!
1. More cops to stop the insane driving around here
2. Cops enforcing no texting while driving laws
Exactly! Nothing but fast people on most highways and roads here, tailgating, impatient, switching lanes all the time that make no difference and in addition - people are always holding their phone and looking down. When you're on 440/40/540 next time, take a look.

"yes, but the WAZE app on my handheld screen told me to turn left at the last minute..."
