What a world we live in, that's all I can say. I was always taught as a kid the pavement is for pedestrians, the road is for cars, if you go on the road, expect to be hit. So cross one as quickly and safely as possible. But, then again, at my school (and I suspect all other schools) they just stand there playing chicken with cars knowing the car has to stop, legally. Pathetic.
Joke is there was a fatality not long ago of a child, on my way home from work, on a side street, killed by a car. The driver was on his phone, and drunk, and mounted the pavement, at 40mph.
With people like that on the roads(or pavements) you'd think people would behave with more sense when crossing, but ah well...
Oh, little edit, on the way home last night that
same road a car to my left had to do a fairly sharp brake because like some kind of mental I was going round the roundabout at a lunatic 18mph, from their right. They then bibbed me! I was in their way. I should have stopped dead
on the roundabout to let them pass, I think. They must use roundabouts daily and they have no idea how to use them. Worries me.
