2. Another little exercise in natural selection?

Perhaps, but studies say increasing accidents are occurring to texting pedestrians, maybe not only the slow and dull.

I'd link the story but I've lost it.

3. I'd suggest that anyone fool enough to text while walking in front of traffic

...is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

4. She appears to be in the crosswalk and has the light.

Sorry, but I don't see the problem. Not in this particular scene.

6. In CA --

there is a point in a green light for traffic is still "go" but the pedestrian's light is signaling "stop", and they are not supposed to be walking so that drivers can turn right. I get pedestrians all the time who step off the curb to walk even though their light tells them not to.
