You're right, none of that applies. My guess is that Cepe was trying to push for that crosswalk at an intersection bit, but I honestly don't believe that will play out.
And the reason it won't play out (even if it IS applicable) is that it is STILL the OP's responsibility to drive safely.

Yea! Ziggy the Court Jester presiding.
It is not LAW.

First - she can't accurately testify to that as she was not in the OP's Vehicle.
Second - the root cause of the accident was the OP pulling in to traffic when it was not safe to do so.

Even when I couldn't have known it wasn't safe to do so?
