The children simply don't seem to have any road sense, they step into the road to "overtake" others on the pavement, see a mate across the road and cross without even looking. And as for using the zebra crossing, that's just being too conformist!<br />Those parents who drive them to school are as bad. A car stops and the off-side doors are flung open without warning and they pile out. In most countries it is an offence for anyone except the driver to get out a vehicle on the off-side.<br />Perhaps it time to start fining pedestrians for jay walking - what about making it an offence to cross the road within say 50 yards of a crossing and not use the crossing?English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-84704755875796821782010-11-23T17:49:37.792+00:002010-11-23T17:49:37.792+00:0020mph speed limits encourage pedestrians to take l...20mph speed limits encourage pedestrians to take less care when using the road. The proof of this statement lies in the fact that pedestrians with reason to cross motorways take a lot of care and tend not to be mown down. <br />Some research into the number of deaths caused, in days long past, by the horse and cart would suggest speed (within reason) is not the culprit.<br />Yes I know - I’m an idiot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-5505913299246086232010-11-23T15:11:49.374+00:002010-11-23T15:11:49.374+00:00That's the problem Bucko, motorists are always...That's the problem Bucko, motorists are always seen as a cash cow.<br /><br />As for anonymous, at least I'm grammatically correct, they seem to have taught me something at school along with road safety.Quiet_Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575652127079681825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-73377357444115275282010-11-23T14:01:33.823+00:002010-11-23T14:01:33.823+00:00Whatever happened to the green cross code.
