I think grown 'adults' have lost many many skills.

We see this a lot these days and it isn't only a UK problem.

I nearly killed a young girl in Spain last summer. She just walked into the road without lifting her head from her mobile or even breaking stride.

It was only that I had seen her in the corner of my eye and had half anticipated what she was likely to do that saved her.

Had I not seen her and had been accelerating rather than backing off (just in case) she would probably be dead now.

YES!!! I see this all the time now, they re supposed to make eye contact with the driver and make sure they have seen them and are slowing, even on a zebra crossing!! They keep hurling themselves out like lemmings now, even if they're not on the phone!

You see it all the time. Only this week in heavy traffic I watched a young woman and an older man walk across the road between moving streams of traffic, causing some to brake sharply and they were less than 25m away from a crossing. Lemmings.

I look left, right, left, right again, left again (just in case) and run.

It's the cool dudes I can't believe. They step out in front of my bus and stroll across, all the time glaring at the bus driver.

I heard one teenage girl say "I ain't running " the other day at a crossing that hadn't gone green yet. All her mates had dashed across, in a gap in the traffic, but she was too cool to run.

Ok love, get run over,see how cool you look laying in the road crying your eyes out.

Somewhere near here

My local hospital is notorious for it, all staff that do it. Step out onto the road or just walk in the middle of it

I suspect people are no longer taught how to use pelicon and toucan crossings. Most days I see people waiting to cross Cricklewood Broadway, nobody has pressed the button. When I do, and the traffic 'magically' stops, they gaze in wonder.

This is not a problem restricted to older people but in my experience, it is most definitely a problem on the increase in younger people.

I use a disability scooter and will never ever go near the local school as they come out at the end of the day.

I see them crossing the road-mobile in hand looking down, I see them playing chicken with oncoming cars, I have them tripping over me or bumping into my scooter as if I am invisible, I could go on so why are the older people targeted for such comment?
