"After the initial shock, look on the bright side - he/she missed you. Mind you, I uttered some obscenities this morning. Walking up to a crossroads, where quite a lot of parents and children cross to school, I was within 6 inches of being clattered by an adult whizzing round the corner on the pavement on a scooter. Kids on wheels on the pavement is fine. Adults? I gave him some abuse." My hand may have hit their window... The scooter thing is terrible, when they or cyclists get too close i want to kick their wheel out | |||

"So you're outside a busy supermarket that you visit often and about the cross the road at a zebra crossing, but a car drives straight over it. You look in the window and see a complete mong who wasn't paying attention and had no idea you were there. How do you react / what do you do? " No point in any reaction!! | |||

"I give them a death stare and just wait till it's clear. It happens too often to get wound up anymore. Shite drivers round here." It does concern me though as I'm a fully grown adult, albeit not the tallest, and it's a place where parents bring kids. So if they can't notice me then they won't see a kid either... | |||

You look in the window and see a complete mong who wasn't paying attention and had no idea you were there. How do you react / what do you do? " If he/she is coming in to park, get their reg. And ask security to have a word. Not sure if the cops would b interested but you could ask the security to pass onto police if recorded and can make out reg number, Esp a near miss like that | |||

"Technically if you haven’t a foot on the crossing you don’t have to stop, we live in a town famous for a sit com, we get a lot of visitors, which a lot stand and admire things while stood on the edge of a zebra crossings. However if they ran over you and you wasn’t on the crossing, that is another story." Apologies, the car doesn’t have to stop. | |||

"Had this very argument with a pedestrian not last month, he was walking towards the zebra to my left going in the same direction, made no indication (glance etc) he was going to cross & just stepped straight onto the crossing. I stopped but gave him the shaky fist.He came over. "You have to stop its the law" "It isn't, but let's just say it is, what happens if I don't?" "You'd get done obviously" "That's ok, I'll tell my kids no toys for a while cos of the fine I'll get, but where would I send the flowers? There's only going to be one loser & its never going to be a car driver fella". S" Although the difference here is that you actually saw him in the first place. In a supermarket carpark, the cars are going somewhere between 5-15 mph so i fancy my chances to get out the way, I'm more concerned about the frequency i see this happen and what'll happen when it's a child crossing rather than myself. | |||

"It doesn't matter if I'm at a zebra crossing or a red light, i dont walk over unless the car is coming to a stop, or has stopped completely. A lot of drivers dont pay attention so I'm not surprised when they drive straight past without even noticing me" Look left look right no matter what the lights show new mini roundabout up the road from me 70% of drivers going straight on dont even glance to the right this weather with the windows open they hear the shout of wanker ! | |||
