just to add what leolop posted earlier, the Supreme Court also stated in a case that the defense of contributory negligence does not apply in criminal cases committed through reckless imprudence, since one cannot allege the negligence of another to evade the effects of his own negligence.

We debated this matter in one of my law classes. It's unlikely the law will change. According to our professor, it's a matter of intent kasi, even if you're in the "right of way".
Kahit mali sila, you should do your best to prevent or avoid hitting them. You have to prove that at least you've tried avoid them (e.g. skid marks), otherwise you're at fault din.
I know it sucks, but when all things are considered, tama lang ang batas na ito.

i agree with you 100%. nalala ko before may nangyari sa reporter ng tabloid. drive nya FX nya tapos may tumalon na lasing galing sa mataas na center island somewhere in manila. bumagsak sa hood nya then tumama sa windshield ng sasakyan. umabot naman ng ospital pero namatay din. ayun kulong pa si reporter.
kahit sabihin natin na pinakawalan din after ilang days, e papano yung abala na nangyari dun sa kawawang reporter na yun?
isa pang badtrip e yung mga tricycle sa highway. correct me if im wrong. ang alam ko is dapat nasa seconday roads lang ang mga to. bakit may prangkisa pa tapos highway daanan. takaw aksidente na takaw gasgas pa sa mga sasakyan na iba.
see my pahabol statement above.
Traffic!
