DO LONDON PEDESTRIANS HAVE A DEATHWISH? Or are they just plain stupid?
Wear a hoodie.
Ipod blasting
Experiencing virtual reality.
Step off the kerb without looking to the right.
No problems in London - you have rights!
The right to be STUPID.
The right to die!
Cycle past any school you care to before opening time and you can count any number of kids and parents stepping off the kerb without a thought in their head about what's coming on the right.
Why?
Because they hear nothing.
They never thought there could be an electric car. Or a hybrid.
Or some cyclist who will come off worst if they walk under his wheels.
Don't schools teach kids road safety?
Or are people just so stupid they don't think about the environment they're in.
Count how many pedestrian you see in a week step off without looking. Or are halfway into the street before suddenly they realise where they're at, and the next London bus they see might be from under its wheels.
Post the results. And let's see just how stupid pedestrians are in UK cities.
