Tell me why people cross busy streets in the dark...

If it's dark outside, and there's very few street lights in the area, and you see a car coming at you...WHY would you start SLOWLY walking (at an angle, no less) across the street?

Do people believe they're invincible? Do they actually trust that people are even WATCHING for them? Do they believe they outweigh the cars and trucks on the road? Or maybe they just forget that there are loved ones at home waiting for them...who might miss them when they're gone.

Tell me why...
