You've got to stay out of the door zone people

[BentMikey]

A terrible incident and a reminder to us all. It does feel sometimes like a balance of not impeding traffic but ensuring your own safety - of course safety must win hands down but you can still feel that you are in the wrong when keeping clear of the door zone in traffic.

Well put! Andy Gates lists it like this:

My safety
Your safety
My convenience
Your convenience

It's item one versus item four - no contest when you think of it this way.

Was the person wearing a helmet do we know? not that that is relevant now, just wondered, terrible shame, yet again makes you shudder to think hazards are in front, both sides and behind you!!!
