It's just a shame that so many walkers in this country are ignorant of the
advice to walk *towards* oncoming traffic, rather than in the same direction
as the traffic. There was a major accident involving a pedestrian, a coach
and an HGV earlier this week - it appears that the coach hit the pedestrian
and then veered into the HGV. What's the betting that the pedestrian was
walking in the gutter, heading in the same direction as the traffic?

The news story was that the coach swerved to try to avoid
the pedestrian, and the pictures seemed to show the front of
the HGV having hit the rear of the coach. Fortunateley the
coach had seltbelts fitted and in use.
