It is very strange in this country; almost a pedestrian death wish, walking out across the road either at a crossing or not. Check to see if it’s safe? No way Jose! Stay texting or chatting on your mobile.
Reversing lorry or car; wait for it to complete its reversing? Again, no way. Just walk behind it and give the driver a start.
Always the drivers fault and vever the imbecile that thinks they are invincible.
Mind you, the day they nick drivers for using crossings as an empty parking space, will be a good day, indeed.
