And rolling a stop is not following the rules of the road, it is a dangerous violation.

She was sentenced in December 2014 to 90 days in jail to be served on weekends, three years' probation and 240 hours of community service, and given a 10-year driving ban.
Regardless, it was dumb of her to stop there. But nowhere near as dumb as your idea that crosswalks are marked by definition. If you're going to give driving advice, don't be wrong. Especially on something like that, where you could easily kill someone and where the penalty could be as severe as manslaughter.
I don't think that's true on a highway or similar road. Stopping in the middle of the highway is very dangerous. You cannot blame the 150km/h+ cars to be able to stop safely in all situations.
It's definitely true on a highway (which is anything that's not an alley), and even a freeway (which is probably what you meant.)
> Stopping in the middle of the highway is very dangerous.
Failure to maintain adequate following distance on any road is dangerous; encountering stopped traffic or needing to stop rapidly, even on freeways, is a regular occurrence.

I don't blame cars for anything, I do blame drivers for failing to maintain a safe combination of speed and separation.
And there's virtually no road, freeway or otherwise, where 150km/h+ (93mph+) is a safe and reasonable speed for any driver, irrespective of separation, so I can quite easiky blame a driver for choosing to drive at such a speed in the first place.
You will absolutely be at fault and stuck with the bill in every single rear-ending case, good luck arguing otherwise.
