When dealing with pedestrians, a driver must:

You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances. It is the driver’s basic responsibility to be alert to pedestrians and to yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians, even if the pedestrian is crossing the street where they should not be.

• Make sure the pedestrian is aware of their vehicle.
• Always yield the right-of-way, even if the pedestrian is in the wrong.
• Yield the right-of-way only when the pedestrian is legally entitled to it.
• Slow down and sound their horn near a crosswalk.
