      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.

      At first glance, “the right call” makes me think spatially in terms of direction - i.e. always call the phone number on the right side of the page, instead of the left side.

      (Obviously they mean the correct call to get the correct help, but it’s still funny).
