wrong

you walk against traffic, you ride with traffic.


[quote=Wren57]1) You would be at fault. You are always at fault if there is reasonable doubt that you could have avoided the accident.

2) You should use police and other means to thwart an attack on you if there is sufficient time to do so. Capture by authorities and evasion supercede ambush as acceptable means of ensuring your personal safety, but are not legally stated. It would depend on the judge's interpretation of the law.QUOTE]

yeah that sounds pretty good. The second thing i think would only pass if you went to the authorities and there was nothing they could do. It also depends on how "premeditated" you are. But yeah i'm sure if you didn't involve the cops and took it into your own hands and premedidated a plot to kill someone before they off'd you, then yeah you'd probably be screwed. The definition of self defense is usually defending oneself while (or right before) being attacked. So an elaborate plan kind of rules that out.
