    It’s good advice. But when it’s coming from drivers it comes of as shifting responsibility to VRUs, or victim blaming.

    Drivers have responsibilities too. Pay attention to the road, get off your phone, drive at slower speed if you can’t see what’s in front of you.

      Yes. They do have responsibilities. But how can you expect anyone to stop for something they can’t see?

      This advice is coming from a pedestrian. Wear your reflective patch. Snap one over your arm, have one hanging out of your pocket, pin it to your coat. Whatever. Just have something on you so you can be seen if you’ll be around traffic.
