" don't know what state you live in, but in most if you hit a pedestrian in the road (not on the sidewalk/off the road/crosswalk) and stop (e.g. - not hit and run) then you are at no fault whatsoever. "
If you live in Communist Canada, you should know that you are Always At Fault when you hit a pedestrian, no matter what measure of screw head the pedestrian is being at the time of impact.
Personal Experience: A friend and I were driving down a pseudo-freeway (70km/h limit (45 mph for imperially inclined)), over which a pedestrian bridge spanned. Some guy on a bicycle (against the law on a pedestrian bridge) crashed into a pedestrian on the bridge, and himself fell off of the bridge onto the shoulder of the sort-of freeway. While getting himself up, we hit him on the hand with the mirror. Net result? Colliding with a Pedestrian ticket, many demerits, huge insurance premium rise, and a civil suit added in for fun -
by the law-breaking cyclist. Sure his hand was shattered utterly, but surely justice isn't served when a moron breaking the law falls off of a bridge due to his own stupidity (while colliding with a pedestrian himself, and yes he got the ticket too with no demerits however), gets hit by a car, and successfully sues the guy in the car who happened to be in the wrong place in the wrong time.
GOD DAMN I LOVE CANADA SOMETIMES
