I also see and encounter cyclists riding across Zebra crossings. How dangerous is it compared to motor vehicles? I have never seen or been passed by, a car coming toward me or from behind me while I am walking on the pavement,nor have I seen a car driving along a pavement, or using a Zebra crossing. I have never had to leap out of the way of a pavement driven car either (unlike the dangerously ridden pavement bicycles that I frequently see and have encountered) Not happening to Mr Cheerful means it doesn't happen? Is the video made up? The lower frequency is likely in large part due physical constraints giving drivers fewer opportunities (perhaps you haven't noticed that many pavements have streetlamps that restict the width?), rather than from a lack of will. Oh, I have seen cars drive on the pavement as part of a longer journey. So have I. In fact, every journey, long or not-so-long, from this address, starts with a car being driven "on the pavement". Don't you have a pavement crossing at your address then? Of course. Was there a point you were attempting to make? --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

That depends on factors peculiar to each journey. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
