Drivers don't expect to see you there, and getting hit by a car really hurts.

Jaywalking is bad because an illegal who cannot read English will not understand the sign and get deported.
Sorry, I had to approach it with the same seriousness you did.

Are you kidding me? It could cause an accident. Motorist are looking for other vehicles, not losers walking across the middle of the road. If they hit you will be seriously injured if not killed, and you cause damage to their vehicle and injuries to the passengers and other vehicles. Besides, it's the law. That's enough, not agreeing with it is your right but if you don't obey it then it's the police's right to arrest and charge you.

Ummm...it can get you dead, when that car you didn't see, doesn't stop because you aren't in a crosswalk. Then your family will sue the driver. The judge will then ask where you were when you got hit. When the police explain that you tried to cross an interstate highway, in the dark, and were not in a crosswalk, he will dismiss the case, dismiss court, walk into his chambers, and then submit your story to the 2007 Darwin Awards.

Turn you into nothing. They should change that name. Jaywalking is a stupid word.

You're serious?
It protects your personal safety and keeps cars from having to crash into you to avoid them.
It's on my list of reasonable laws.
Though if there are no cars, no cop has the right to enforce it.

You can be struck down by a distracted motorist.
