It looks like you had more than enough time to see her and slow down...
Why didn't you?
Not sure if you took a riding course or not, but I was taught to look as far ahead and scan the road for anything that might happen.
As dumb as the girl is, I think you could of easily neutralized the situation had you actually slowed down.
Really? Are you superman? The first time you see "Pinky" is at 00:23. When the rider hits the end of the intersection, the time is 00:24. That's 1 sec.
Are you saying you can see what's going on, decide what you are going to do, then do it in 1 sec? BULLSH!!!.
Even at 50km/h, the rider would of had 1.5 sec... Not enough time to react and brake.
She's lucky she's alive and probably didn't learn her lesson.
Too bad Ontario laws beg to differ.
Bull###. It doesn't take more then 5 secs to RUN 1/2 way through the intersection. She started running into the intersection when she had a "don't walk" signal. The "LAW" you mentioned says that if the pedestrian is half way through the intersection then the pedestrian has the right of way but that doesn't matter if she illegally ran into the intersection. There's no way she has the right of way. She is 100% at fault.
