Why do folks (pedestrians) think that they have automatic right to cross a zebra crossing without stopping to look.
I just nearly ran a girl and child in a buggy over on a crossing...she did not stop to look, just walked out, luckily I was alert and on the ball, it could have been disastrous for her.
I was taught to stop, look and wait for the motorist to stop.

So many dickheads walk amongst us. And some drive. And others ride bikes and motorbikes.

I know the Highway Code says drivers should stop and allow pedestrians to cross, but surely Darwinian common sense says to make sure the car has actually stopped before stepping out!

This new law, where cars have to give way to pedestrians who are wanting to cross the road that a car is turning INTO is a joke! Twice now I have nearly been rear ended by the car behind me on the A38 pulling into my little estate because of a pedestrian!

The kids/lemmings from our local school, they just walk/run out infront of you. DONT THEY REALISE OR CARE THAT CARS ARE MADE OF METAL AND THEY ARE ONLY FLESH, BONE AND BLOOD. |

Many kids, especially teenagers, think that they immortal, and that their elders are just fusspots. I know. I was a teenager once. |

Thats me calling the kettle black...I spent 8 weeks in traction and 3 months off school,lost my first year in the 6th form, due to me have a fight with a Vauxhall Victor on my bike. Needless to say I lost. Thankfully Vauxhalls in those days used the thinest of steels in their car bodies, any thicker and you wouldn't be reading this. |

My comments weren't meant to be critical. Kids will always be kids and some, like you, will learn lessons the hard way. It's the entitled and selfish grown-ups that grind my gears. |
