Pedestrians rarely step out without warning. This is a
fallacy. And I have seen pedestrians crossing at
junctions walk upto the junction, look both ways, step out
and be hit by a car that wasn't indicating; the driver
then claimed 'she just stepped out' when in reality she
had walked to the junction, looked both ways and stepped
into the road where she has right of way over vehicles
turning.

Part of the driver's role is to anticipate what
pedestrians might do and drive at an appropriate speed to
be able to stop if a pedestrian does step out. If
children are particularly close to the road, you slow down
to be able to stop if necessary.

If you have to pass close to a line of parked vehicles
which block your view of anyone trying to cross, you slow
down.

This is not particularly advanced driving, it's the
basics, which you and a majority of drivers seem to ignore.

By god you are so bloody virtuous .
In all the above and your previous posts there has not
been anything
so
holier than thou in among the drivel that you have written.
You don't seem to get it do you but you have put yourself
up and you
will be crucified for making statements similar to that
above.

But is he wrong in what he says and if not why do the ******* try to drag
everyone else down to their level?
