But I'm still waiting for you to point out where I said it's ok for a driver to plow through pedestrians
I will admit I jumped to conclusions when you cited ORS 814 if you admit that it is victim blaming and wrong to say that the cyclists contributed to this incident at all -

I'm sorry, please point out exactly where I said it was ok to plow down pedestrians.
Acting as though the cyclists did anything unreasonable here is just not a good faith argument. I'm not sure what you wanted them to do differently.
Keep in mind that if he *had* started crossing any earlier, the van would have hit more than his front wheel. -

I saw that still and I asked him why they waited for the signal to start blinking don't walk.
I don't think I want to live in your world where it's perfectly acceptable to plow down pedestrians for entering the crosswalk the split second it starts counting down.
That driver blew the red light, there's no situation in which a pedestrian or biker is at fault for that. -

A pedestrian who has started crossing a roadway on a signal showing “Walk” or any other approved symbol to proceed shall proceed with dispatch to a sidewalk or safety island while a signal is showing “Wait” or “Don’t Walk”

Nobody is victim blaming. What is being said is that had these cyclists been more cautious and obeyed their own traffic control devices that he wouldn't have been hit. I am more than willing to give these cyclists a safety course.
In your still frame, you've circled the crosswalk as it's counting down, it's well over 9 seconds at that point. I'm sure you're aware that crosswalk signals start counting down while it's still safe for pedestrians to be crossing. -
@pilhofer Twitter just rug-pulled after 16 years (and an IPO) of me trusting them to be a good steward for my principal online presence
I don't see how ANY <month old startup could possibly convince me to trust them instead
If it's not implemented in a way that lets me take control of my own destiny (ala Mastodon/ActivityPub) I'm just not interested
