This was my first thought as well. You could basically replace "pedestrian" with "cyclist" and get the exact same crap that's been spewed by everyone lately. When someone drives drunk it's a "bad apple" but when a pedestrian or cyclist gets hit it's "pedestrians and cyclists."

I've been hit by a car three times in my life, on foot, and two of them would have been significantly worse if I hadn't been aware of my surroundings, as I've learned to be. Though according to this article, my being aware of drivers should have prevented me from being hit so I guess it's my fault.

Two of the three times I've been hit were in crosswalks, while I had the walk signal. The third was a parking lot from someone not paying attention. I guess these are all my fault too.
