Then you can lose your license, have to pay millions of dollars, and all that.

I just let people cross the street regardless if there's a crosswalk because I don't want to be implicated in a lawsuit. Plus, it doesn't take that much time out of your day to let someone cross the street. You lose MAYBE 10 seconds.

My sister only cares about herself, though. It hurts to know that she puts herself above all others, including that man with his baby. An innocent baby who didn't even get to choose if she wanted to cross the street or not.

My sister needs an intervention, but I don't think you can help someone who doesn't want help. I mean, she thinks there's nothing wrong with the way she's behaving, soooo
It really does sound like she needs an intervention, but that's so hard to figure out how to get people to get treatment when they have no idea it's a problem. I know someone having a similar situation with a sibling, and she's also at a loss for what to do. Was your sister always like this?
