Totally agree. I will hit the horn and brake for a pedestrian, and
yes, even try to avoid them if it is safe to do so (i.e. use due
care to avoid hitting them), BUT will NEVER risk my own butt in an
attempt to save suicidal punks who shouldn't even be there anyway
(as far as jaywalkers are concerned). Jaywalking ain't a crime for
nothing.
