hopefulnebulaThis one is for the second person this month who's gone 30 MPH or faster in a parking lot with numerous pedestrians around. Straight from the Colorado Driver's Handbook. All emphasis is mine.

10.2 RIGHT OF WAY
Where vehicles or pedestrians meet one another, and there are no signs or signals to regulate traffic, there are rules that say who must yield the right of way... You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances.
PEDESTRIANS: When driving, you should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians under all conditions. Be particularly watchful for children, elderly and blind persons... Pedestrians have the right-of-way at all intersections and crosswalks. Drivers must come to a complete stop and let the person pass safely.

Not really that hard to understand, now, is it? Apparently so.

Drivers are crazy!
