I guess I'm not making my point clear. Here are some scenarios:
1. A 76 year old man
2. A pregnant woman
3. A woman with a toddler
4. A woman carrying a baby
5. Two people walking together
A blind spot caused by a roof pillar could temporarily hide each of these scenarios.
If you know you have a blind spot then you should be aware that you have to be extra careful in car parks. I know because I have the same situation with my vehicle so I have to be very vigilant in car parks.
How can any blame be attributed to the pedestrian in a case like this. He saw her stopped so he crossed. She didn't see him and accelerated into him (according to the original post). I'm assuming that any witnesses corroborate this.
At what point is it reckless driving? Does it become more reckless depending on the person or persons you hit? Isn't it reckless to know that you have a blind spot, but not to make allowances for it?
I rest my case!
