Should they start giving tickets to pedestrians who walk down the middle of the street?

Some people are under the mis-impression that all pedestrians have the right of way in all cases. They don’t. They only have the right of way where it is marked. So if you get hit by a car walking through the parking lot it’s ya own damn fault. Same thing if you cross a road outside of the cross walk.

Today I headed out to Walmart and there was a girl walking smack down the middle of the residential road. As I approached she crossed over and went up on the sidewalk. As I passed she stepped off the sidewalk and went back to the center of the road!

Coming back there was a whole family, about 8 people, walking in my lane toward me, in the middle of my lane, on a side road leading to WalMart. They weren’t in a line, they were strung out all over my lane. There was a car coming toward me so I couldn’t swerve around them and I honestly didn’t see why I should have to be the one to swerve. I have the right of way, dummies! Move over!
I had to come to a full stop and wait until they could figure out that walking in a line on the SIDE of the road would probably be best, and gave me dirty looks as I slowly passed them, like I’d done something wrong.
