I drive all the time @work, have seen people just standing at the tip of the corner to cross – WHY?
Why can’t you stand behind safely and once you see the lights “on” to cross – just look to your right or left to make sure you are safe to cross – HOW HARD IS IT? Sometimes, I see little kids at the edge when their parent/s either on the phone or just being stupid.
And, have seen drivers taking turns don’t have patience and ignorant – should and must be punished.
and the slaughter continues…
The weather getting bad, drivers has to slow down to avoid this kind of accident.
