twitterLetter: Pedestrians deserve respect
Friday, Feb. 28, 2003 | 9:19 a.m.
I'd like to thank her for the information about a driver's liability under statute when killing or maiming pedestrians. I honestly had thought, based on past media reports, that you could kill or maim anyone on foot with your vehicle in Las Vegas as long as they were jaywalking.
The fact that this is not so should definitely be publicized by the broadcast media each time another pedestrian is hurt or killed. The statute should also be changed to make drivers more liable for penalty and costs whether the pedestrian is in a "legal" walkway or not.
