What’s the problem?
A few things.
It seems to normalise the blame of being hit to the fault of the pedestrian, as opposed to the driver or vehicle operator, which is no where to be seen.
It seems to compare a pedestrians intelligence with that of a wild animal.
Pedestrians that get hit by cars are just as dumb as racoon's.
Don’t underestimate a raccoon’s intelligence. Put a half eaten burger in the world’s most secure safe, he’ll crack that mother and he’ll tell all his friends how he did it.
