Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians

I'm sure this works in some places, but if you try this somewhere like Philadelphia or New York (or indeed most of the USA) you'd be "asserting yourself" from the hospital.

I’ve actually found New York is fine - most of it’s so dense and slow the pedestrians really do claim the roads.

Boston, on the other hand - those motherfuckers speed up when they see you crossing.

Meh, I walked rather assertively around NYC and never had any issues.
