The law may be different there, but I know for sure that in all my years as a criminal defense attorney I have never once seen a person cited into court for obstructing traffic for just walking in the road. Especially when the driver did not even have to stop to pass her.
How about jaywalking? I'm pretty sure it's illegal for a pedestrian to be on the road unless they are crossing it at a legal crosswalk. You can be cited for this. Do they not have jaywalking in Tennessee?
