How to use "Run over" in context?
If you think about it, hitting a pedestrian with your car is one of the most reckless things you could do. Most pedestrians don't cross the street at random, and the chances of hitting one by accident are pretty high. Granted, there are times when a pedestrian may have no spot to cross, but that doesn't excuse hitting someone who is just walking. Unfortunately, drivers run over pedestrians every day, and the consequences can be devastating.
There are a few reasons why drivers might run over pedestrians. One could be that they are driving too fast and they don't see the pedestrian.
