| yes, we don't have jaywalking (well we not in the sense of the word, people wander about in the road All THE TIME but it's not an offence, only on a motorway but that doesn't concern cycles) the onus is on vehicular traffic to give way to peds at all times.
some people know this and aggressively assert themselves with arrogance into the path of oncoming vehicles, others don't know but just walk into the road because of ignorance, carelessness and downright fucking lazyness.
one petition I would like to see is something to bring back public service adverts on how to cross the road correctly, for children and adults, outlining the consequences of causing an accident by being selfish/careless.
it seems these days carelessness is no longer an issue, as if expecting someone not to be a cock is an infringement of their "rights" or something. maybe the government don't care.
not so in the days when tufty and the green cross code man told you that playing with traffic fucking kills you and cause other cunts to get killed. This is the problem, if cunts don't mind risking their own lives, the effect on others is no longer enough to make them think twice. They simply don't give a fuck. and there lies the rub.
right topic closed, it's all getting a bit fucking C+ |
