Another motorist waved him across... This is exactly why I don't automatically cross when cars stop and wave me across.A $1000 fine and up to 180 days in jail. Being a minor I would bet the jail doesn't happen, so effectively it costs $1000 to be negligent and kill someone.
We have an intersection of a bike trail and a suburban road with a 45 speed limit nearby. There are signs on the bike trail warning that it isn't a crosswalk and that road traffic has the right of way. Cars see the bike trail sign and often stop when they see cyclists waiting. They often then get mad when the cyclist doesn't immediately cross because the cyclist is waiting on traffic coming from the other way (traffic that sometimes stops but more often just speeds through). I'll take having a nice motorist mad at me rather than a trip in an ambulance or worse.
