Which pedestrian violations are often a cause of being run over?
Statistics
Explanation
**Pedestrian accidents** are more common when pedestrians do not use **pedestrian crossings**. These crossings are designed for pedestrians to cross safely, as drivers expect people to cross there and are more attentive to their presence.
- **Crossing at pedestrian crossings** is an essential safety measure to avoid accidents. When pedestrians cross at undesignated places, drivers may not see them in time, especially if there are obstacles blocking the view.
- Additionally, drivers must drive cautiously in areas where there are pedestrians and respect their right of way at pedestrian crossings. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents.
Therefore, not using pedestrian crossings is an infraction that increases the risk of being hit, as drivers do not expect pedestrians to cross in unmarked places.
