    I constantly see people walking into traffic assuming the cars will avoid them. I was screaming the other day as a dad on his bike made his son, also on a bike, run the red light and across the junction. The stupidity of people continues to baffle.

        While we're at it...I'll never understand the amount of women I see with push chairs waiting to cross the road ( usually within feet of a Zebra crossing )and as they're stood on the verge the pushchair is on the road..What the hell is all that about don't they like their kids ? annoys the hell out of me.

              Quite often with teenagers it's all bravado. A few lads did that to me last week, staring at me as they jaywalked. Let's hope they grow out of it before they get run down.

                When I was in Saigon they said that the best way to get across the road was to walk steadily in a straight line and the traffic (virtually all mopeds) would be able to weave round you safely. The locals demonstrated it for me :hate-shocked:. After a while you get used to it.

                I don't think it works well with cars and lorries :nonofinger:

                  Regarding the issues with the police. So at one time I was a traffic cop. Never mind that you'd expect an ex cop to be biased. Me NO.
                  Fair do's as the saying goes. 'Once a cop, always a cop' So I have phoned in incidents and it's been like a Disney feature. Hello this is the police, how can I help? Then soon you ask yourself. Is this for real?

                  Not long ago. I visited my local nick now closed down to make a report. Hi I want to report an offence under section 32 of..........

                  What is your name sir and your address? So Sir, what is the reason for your complaint.
