Didn’t really expect much from DrivingUk but honestly the amount of downvotes shocked me. God forbid people go out at night dressed normally without full on high vis.

Literally “look at what she was wearing. She was asking for it!”
Obviously, it’s a good idea to look out for giant hulking death machines when your environment is crawling with them. That in no way means the blame should be focused on the victims of the death machines. Fucking car brains.
Also I just watched the video and I would be very surprised if that situation would have been any different even in broad daylight. Cars regularly make turns like that without looking for pedestrians at all. The OP even admits that they didn’t look properly at the crossing in the post.
That first line is certifiably unhinged.
Yes, the driver should be careful. But if you can’t even acknowledge that someone wearing dark clothing at night is extremely difficult to see until your headlights/a street lamp is on them, then you’re just trying to be obtuse.
I guess it’s a good thing that headlights point in front of you then and illuminate where you’re going
now, if you have those shitty fucking LED headlights that are so bright you have to aim them down so you can’t see things at chest height, that’s user error
Victim blaming is victim blaming. Kindly fuck off with your smooth ass car brained bullshit.
