It's not just the drivers. It's the pedestrians. It said she was crossing the street. If she was not on a crosswalk, then it is not the driver's fault. People will just walk right in front of your car without even looking nor caring who is on the road. Newsflash people: The road is made for motor vehicles. If you can not walk on the sidewalks, grass, crosswalks, then stay off the road. If you can not ride your bicycle in the correct lane and follow the traffic laws, appropriately stay off the road. In my opinion, bicycles shouldn't even be on the main roads. They do not have lights, mirrors or signals.
