    It’s fucked up that even such a thing as jaywalking exists. I know you wanted a comparable example, but it’s quite dystopian.

      Jaywalking likely exists because of lobbying from insurance companies. If someone gets into an accident avoiding or even hitting a pedestrian, it places the pedestrian at fault and makes the insurance companies non liable for paying out money to fix damages.
