I remember seeing a lil kid get hit by a van going 45mph & thinking that the kid would explode on impact. The van kept on going but I got his plate#. To my surprise the kid got up & hop over to the curb. The kid did run out into the street without looking.

That pedestrian probably didn't check the road well enough before crossing, but that is no excuse for the speeding driver that hit him.

Pedestrians need to be more careful. Especially jaywalking at night. Cars usually have 20-40x your mass.
Do not know what the speed limit is on that road, but racing at 120km/h on city streets is stupid as hell.
I think in BC, if the driver is driving at the speed limit and has the green light. The driver wouldn't be at fault because the pedestrian is jaywalking.

Yeah cause it seems every week there is a thread of one racing on the street and someone gets hurt or killed and its usually some young person. I'd stop the vids too.

It's even MORE dangerous at night, like in this video, with reduced visibility.
Disturbing indeed, but MORE disturbing is the fact that people continue to street-race, even after seeing scenes like this. Some even brag about it on CL.![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)

I can't say I haven't raced, but I've had a near miss once during my first year of driving and that's the last time I ever race with any chance of collision, happily, I've yet to have a accident with my fault. *Knock knock*

Eventhough the pedestrian is jaywalking, he's probably crossing thinking that cars are obeying traffic laws and not expecting cars racing on public streets.
I have no sympathy for people who choose to race on public roads and they should face the consequences of their actions.

Maybe they have nothing better to do, the vid here doesn't seem to promote or condone racing, but it certainly highlights the dangerous consequences.

I regret to inform you that you are in fact incorrect. In BC, EVERYTHING is the drivers fault (and I do mean everything), the only thing that superceeds the pedestrian here is public transit (Translink) busses.
