Re: Idiots

Pedestrians always have the right of way, you never put another person or creature thing in any danger by not stopping for them.

Re: Idiots

Pedestrians have the right of way? What utter b... Baloney!

So you are telling me that people can legally (and morally) walk out into the path of a moving vehicle and that is their right?

I don't think so!!

Re: Idiots

pedestrians should look and listen for traffic ...then cross when it is safe to do so...if traffic then wants to turn into that road...the pedestrian has right of way...

I agree..

If you see them standing in the road, yes you should let them have the right of way.

Re: Idiots

I sometimes take my little nephew out in a pram when I go running but I tend not to worry much about cars. They worry more about me bumping in to them . You have to be prepared around where I live.

What happened to look left and right before crossing the road?

Mollie said she was indicating right so if the woman had half a brain cell she'd have realised that the car was going to drive down the road she was crossing.

There are many occasions when driving you see some pedestrians caught out by speeding motorists, as in the VT I showed.
Only yesterday I was nearly knocked down by a taxi turning a corner at breakneck speed with me in the road crossing, he also cut the corner.
A GOOD driver will always wait for a pedestrian who is stuck in the road.
