Would You Stop For That Pedestrian?

I hope none of us ever find ourselves in this situation. Apparently there are some people who think they can cross the street anywhere they want to. Apparently there are some people who think crossing the street at an intersection where they are supposed to cross the street is too inconvenient for them. I might remind them that there are motorists who will not stop for them. What if you are driving on a highway or a busy street, and the flow of traffic is rapid? What if the car behind you is speeding at about 60 miles per hour and several pedestrians decide they want to cross the street in front of you? You can't stop or slow down because you will be rear-ended. You can't change lanes because there is too much traffic. Would you risk your safety and possibly your life to avoid injuring or possibly killing persons who are breaking the law? Would you stop for that pedestrian?
