[QUOTE 3610734, member: 45"]I can't put it any simpler. I'll not repeat myself other than to say again that with your attitude you'd fail a theory test, but will add that the law is rigid. Driver behaviour and attitudes aren't. Excusing poor driver behaviour is not going to change the changeable.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE 3610742, member: 45"]Here I am going to repeat myself. Until you're sure they're not intending to cross, you act as if they are.
Obviously if they're ten metres away and you're the crossing you'll carry on, as you're not going to impede their progress. But that's just you being silly.[/QUOTE]
I'm not excusing poor driving, I'm saying that the law states one thing, so most drivers will do that. You only have to give way when they are on the crossing. You don't have to slow down if they are near, so you keep saying this is what should happen will not change the fact that I don't see it happening. Is this right? No, but this is what I witness every day of the week. For me the only real solution would be change Zebra crossings to Pelican crossings, take away any ambiguity.
My attitude? I know it is a hazard and have said it is a hazard so why would I fail?
