One of the GMG is coming into work today early. It was 6 am and very dark. This is where all the businessman jaywalkers come out to play. Within a 1 minute span I almost (or could have) hit 4 different pedestrians.
Its hard to see at that time. Going down 5th avenue at 6th street one guy startled me as he was timing to jaywalk just behind me but only saw him at the last moment, if I was changing lanes or something. Then the two blocks later two guy together looks as startled as I was as my headlights got them in the face. I turn left on 2nd street scared still, with my face to the windshield and there is another guy standing there jaywalking now stopped and startled because he couldn't believe a car was driving down the road. I obviously stopped.
I jaywalk to but jeezus default to assuming you cannot be seen by drivers whenever you do. Probably not a bad idea to go under the speed limit downtown too.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but do you have issues seeing when it's dark out? Maybe you have night blindness? I know my wife has issues when she isn't wearing her glasses at night.
