Pedestrians are invisible to drivers until they hit them.
Last November in Konya's Selçuklu district construction worker Seva
Selvi (20) hit a bunch of pedestrians with his speeding car as they tried
to cross the street after getting off a tram. Six of the pedestrians were
killed and four others were injured, including Naz Övüş (16), who was
in Selvi's car.
The resulting accident report assigned a "secondary" fault to Selvi but
put the bulk of the blame on the pedestrians for walking in an unguarded
zone, despite the fact that Selvi was driving at a speed of between 111
and 120 kilometers per hour in an area where the speed limit was 82
kilometers per hour. (!)
In any case, the jailed Selvi faces from 2 to 15 years in prison, once the
court issues the final sentence.
Risk-reduction tips...but no guarantee.
