Dead right is still just dead

Dear Editor: It would appear that letter-writer Rob Wynen does not drive a vehicle (Hit by Car Story Insensitive, North Shore News, April 14). The statement that jaywalking is safer than using crosswalks is absurd.

Dear Editor:

It would appear that letter-writer Rob Wynen does not drive a vehicle (Hit by Car Story Insensitive, North Shore News, April 14).

The statement that jaywalking is safer than using crosswalks is absurd. A person stepping off a curb, walking between parked cars into traffic and expecting drivers to come to a safe halt is naive and foolhardy.

Pedestrians should not wear dark clothing at night, and should use crosswalks with caution. It is better to use care than be dead right.
