Depends on how much gasoline is in your backpack.

There's plenty to be angry about. Gotta say, especially for women.

Probably just someone Normal.

Too many sad upbringings absent of such a masterpiece.

In my decades of driving I've never hit a human just because they weren't wearing reflective gear. If she were in all black with yellow stripes it would still be no excuse. Driver was texting or intentionally distracted--at best. Possibly one of the oxygen-thieving assholes who try to swipe cyclists/pedestrians off the road. Visibility be damned--they hit a human and drove off.

Source: They try to hit me just about every day here, even in a very visible vehicle (or riding a bike).

Similar effect occurs with suicide barriers on high bridges. Just having to purposely climb over a short wall/fence is often enough to give people that second chance to think things over.

I'm inclined to agree. I think this is more the last ditch, violent death throes of religion as a thing to revere. I mean, we've been to the Heavens. We can basically all read and have the internet (first world at least). There's simply no more need for fairy tales to explain the unknown or shape our behavior.
