Snazy I do not advocate "just walking out" onto the road, I am not suicidal, after all. And as I said, I also drive. A lot. And I stop at zebra crossings. After all, it's actually the law, stopping isn't optional, it's required as soon as a pedestrian approaches and I wish some of these rogue drivers would remember once in a while.
Not sure if this is meant as a response as you think I was having a dig at you?
My point was factual, and not based on any person, just pointing out the mentality of a large percentage of those out there.
I drive daily, and also walk about 12-20km around the streets of FH, so am well aware of how both drivers and commuters behave. The school run certainly not being an exception to the rule.
I should however point out one thing, the law states that a driver must stop when a pedestrian steps onto a ZEBRA crossing. Not to someone standing near, or waiting to cross. Puffin, Toucan and Pelican are all light controlled, and right of way is dictated by the lights showing.
(just seen the other responses stating this)
Perryman, I have to agree with a clampdown on these unauthorised drivers, but dont think thats gonna solve the crossing problem stated.
On a zebra crossing the pedestrian DOES have a right of way, but sadly this type of crossing is the least observed.
