You should drive at a speed appropriate for the conditions. If you can’t see fsr enough ahead, or can’t stop fast enough to avoid a pedestrian, you are driving too fast. I shouldn’t have to wear day glow neon and flashing lights everywhere I go, because you can’t slow down a bit.
Oh right, you’re on about the swathes of people who just walk down the middle of road as a matter of course. I can’t be arsed with this discussion any more. Let’s just assume that I acknowledge your ‘right’ to indiscriminately mow pedestrians down for the crime of ‘being in the road’
Because I have a right to walk where I want, wearing what I want. To suggest that I must select my clothing to conform some stranger’s desire to speed around in a car, paying the bare minimum of attention to the road or conditions, on penalty of death or serious injury, is ridiculous.
Driving so fast that you can’t see or react to pedestrians is stupid and dangerous. Why us it such a hard concept for you to understand?

Nice strawman, buddy. No one said anything about neon or flashing lights.
If you’re walking in the road at night wearing dark clothes, you’re an idiot and a road hazard.
If you’re driving too fast, you’re the hazard, not me.
You clearly don’t understand what road hazard is.
A road hazard is a hazard encountered while driving a vehicle. A person being in the road when they shouldn’t be is a road hazard.
Why am I not allowed to cross the road?
No one, at any point in this discussion, said anything about crossing the road.

You’re either an absolute moron, or you’re being intentionally obtuse.
At no point did anyone support mowing down pedestrians. Stop creating strawmen.
The entire point of this discussion was that wearing dark clothes and walking in the street at night is stupid and dangerous.
I’m not sure why this is such a hard concept for you to grasp.
