Not arsed. peds should exercise common sense. When I take care on the road, it's as much about my self-preservation as not killing anyone else. I say peds have to take some responsibility for their own safety. If I create a dangerous situation and then get hurt, I dust off my ego and accept I was twat (not often..although there was that time I was texting and riding no-handed @ 05:30 after nearly 12 hours on the booze, spread myself over the back of a taxi and felt silly).
By the same token, if a ped can't be bothered to look both ways before crossing, I have trouble feeling sympathy. If you live in a city, you know to look left and right ALWAYS.
