i cant deny there are bad drivers too,and lots dont indicate, but to cross a road, without looking is just nuts,and being on a bike on a phone is just as dangerous as it is driving, |

I think if a person is moving either of their own volition or by some mechanical device they should be summarily tried then hung drawn and quartered if they are using a mobile or have earphones or headphones on. Dangerous stuff, a young man of 17 was killed here last year because he just stepped under the wheels of a bus while wearing headphones, his poor family and the poor bus driver  |

The amount of times I've almost got run over at a zebra crossing is unbelievable!
Everyday I use the same crossing and most cars just pass by without a care in the world!
Surely the same rules apply to drivers |

that is sad , some one dead , and two parties both suffering family for there loss and the driver involved, , the thing about the earphones , which some people on public transport will understand is why do they have to be so loud,?? we all love music ,but if i can here 4,5,6 seats away? what can you hear wearing them, ive tried and failed misrebly to stop my son from wearing them, maybe when, if he learns to drive , then he might understand |

as i said bad drivers too, but if an accident happens , no matter who is at fault, who does the finger point to?? the driver? or the person on the ground? |

The person at fault. See my previous post, no one blamed the poor bus driver. |

Ooooh don't get me started on this! It's the idiots walking on packed station concourses, head down, texting away, stepping of trains at peak times updating their Facebook page: I ask you, wtf?!! 
I've had several run ins at the station this week and not one of the idiots was under 30! |

a driver will get nick if he caught on his phone while driving , but these divs on ther bikes texting or chatting on ther phones , nothing done about it , i see it all the time as im a cabbie , the law should stand the same for them as it does for a car or lorry drivers |

"see one lad, about 20ish, every morning, riding his bike down a busy main A road,
texting with no hands on the handlebars "
He's sounds like a talented idiot!  |

 I thought they'd stopped making indicators on cars, they're used so infrequently these days!
I was nearly hit crossing a one way street once. The driver was swearing at me for not looking left before I crossed. Why the f*** would I have looked both ways on a one way street?! He was the one going the wrong way for a shortcut.
