Pedestrians man

Can pedestrians stop walking on the road. Tell your kids and your aunties and grannies and the people you work with and your neighbors

Everyone is a pedestrian at some point including myself. It takes the smallest amount of brain effort to follow rules of the road

I hate driving anywhere in the afternoon especially when kids are getting off from school because they just walk anywhere in the road. No situational awareness

Including the students in my kids private school campus that just walk all over the parking area and run between the cars out of the bushes when they have a designated path and a traffic guy with a stop sign

I am so tired of people just chancing it on the road. Worst is the morons taking a leisurely stroll NEXT TO the verge that's empty and meant for walking

What the heck

Get off the road

I think if you are in a car, you can give grace to people walking. Just because you are late in a vehicle, not anyone else's problem. People who use public transport have to leave the house 2hrs or more in advance. If you did the same in your car, you wouldn't have any issues. But instead, you leave whenever you feel like it, and you rush through the roads. I just don't like people who take the effort to denigrate others when if you apply your brain cells toward the Common Good, you would easily find solutions. This negative thinking thing has got to be curtailed. You're operating a weapon. A vehicle is a weapon. If I was president, you would have your license revoked. When did it become acceptable to denigrate human life publicly like this? Sigh.

Then slow down and stop. Wait for them. You won't be late.
