@Pepijn@mastodon.online There is a concept here in the US called “last chance to avoid collision.” Dude had the last chance and didn’t, because he was distracted - just like if he had been driving a car while focused on a cell phone, which is universally acknowledge to be driver error. People slagging you have their heads, as we say in the paratroopers, up their fourth point of contact.

@jappel@wandering.shop That makes a lot of sense. It's asking everyone to be responsible. I think the 'famous' donkey case is about this as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davies_v_Mann edit: huh, it had been many years since I actually read it. Reading the details the Davies v Mann case is almost spot on this situation (the traffic cone being the donkey).
