Quoted By:
Humans aren't perfect, but you didn't almost run that guy over because you're only human, you almost ran him over because you were careless.
Even if everyone is supposed to let you pass first, EVEN if the lights green for you and red for other road users and pedestrians, slow the fuck down, look around and make sure other road users and pedestrians are doing what they're supposed to.
Even when they ARE doing what they're supposed to do, prepare yourself for the possibility that their behavior might change suddenly, that's why you keep a gap between yourself and other cars, that's why you slow down before crosswalks and that's why you slow down in situations like pic related, because someone might pop up from behind one of the cars to cross, even if they're not supposed to.
You don't want to injure or kill another person even if they were entirely in the wrong.
