Muntik na rin ako mambangga ng pedestrian dati (take note, hindi makabangga). Isang pedestrian na patawid, saying good bye first to someone sa likod so nakalingon sya sa likod. And after saying goodbye biglang tumawid while still looking at his friend who was left at the sidewalk. Ni hindi tumingin bago tumawid. Good thing nakita ko sya bago pa pang tumawid.

Kung kayo yung nakabangga dun sa video, tatakas din ba kayo? And the ultimate question, sino ba talaga may kasalanan sa ngyari?

kasalan ng tumawid, but since tumakas ung driver nauwi sa hit-n-run, it is expected na since mas malaki damage (tao ung nabanga) tulungan mo kahit sha ang me kasalanan.

they think you have eyes at the back of your head, the way they have eyes at the front of their heads.
but it's as if they have no brains behind them eyes..

motoristas are tasked by the law, to bring their "victims" to the medical facility, whoever the fault may be.
as to who gets to pay... that's another thing.

kung hindi ako mauunahan ng TAKOT, balikan ko 'yung bangkay, este, 'yun palang nabangga ko,
then, dalhin ko sa ospital. maybe, sabihin ko na lang sa mga tao doon na nakita kong na hit and run kaya
dinala ko sa ospital. hindi ko talaga alam kung ano sasabihin ko sa kanila... ang mahalaga, nadala ko pa
siya sa ospital.

kung naunahan ng TAKOT, i'll drive as fast and as far away as i could. faster than "drive it like you stole it!" :bwahaha:
but that's a very cruel, napaka- luffette and very "karumel- dumel" thing to do.

btw, kung sino ang hindi nag- iingat, siya ang may kasalanan.
kaya, kasalanan nung tumawid.

May mga comments dun na baka daw natakot yung driver na kuyugin ng mga tao kaya daw sya bigla tumakas.

Heard from a lawyer at an AM station (atty Danny con) . Kahit na kasalanan ng pedestrian, dapat kung sino yung nagdala ng nakaka sakit na bagay, sya yung mas may responsableng mag ingat. Halimbawa may dala kang baril or kutsilyo tapos nasa isang matao kang lugar, responsable mo na ingatan ang dala mo na hindi makapanakit ng tao. In this case naman sya may dala ng kotse, dapat magingat sya na di makapanakit. The only way the driver can get out of it eh kung mapapatunyan nya na ginawa na nya lahat ng pagiingat at nakasagasa pa rin sya.

From the video the driver was negligent.

May Supreme Court ruling about safe speeds, which is the speed that will allow you to safely stop taking all circumstances under consideration.

In this case, crossing yun, matao, tapos ang bilis mo pa tumakbo.

Contrbutory negligence nalang yung sa pedestrian which affects your civil liability only.

PS: right of way is never absolute. It must be harmonized with other factors attending your scenario.

Kahit wala sa lugar yung pedestrian? To think na may footbridge mismo dun sa tinatawiran nya hindi lang nya ginamit.

Pero "technically" diba dapat di ka makakakita ng pedestrian dun? Dapat vehicles lang talaga. May signage na nga din mmda na "bawal tumawid at nakamamatay".

Siguro din the driver was doing more than 60kph para mapalipad nya yung pedestrian ng ganon
