“We always hear that "a car " hit a pedestrian . We never see the headline "idiot walked into the path of a car on a green light " .”

“Jaywalking is a national epidemic in this country . Drivers are under obligation by all manner of laws to obey the rules of the road . Its about time pedestrians (and cyclists) were also held to account .”

“Why dont people use a bit of common sense? Surely they realise unless the green man is showing on a crossing the traffic has right of way on a road. Problem is people want to get everywhere yesterday and they dont think about the consequences hence we have situations like this.”

“people are still so stupid to think that it is ok to just do what they like at this crossing...sorry but if im driving along royal parade and some prat walks out in front of me because they cant wait 60 seconds for lights to change or just dont use the crossing and walk across the road and they get hit then tough...own fault for being a prat and thinking you have the right of way.”
