One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is this issue of pedestrian safety, particularly when i people expect drivers to take all the responsibility for pedestrians who don’t watch out for themselves.

Last night I had a situation.  I was driving through a residential area ion Earlwood, much like most residential areas.
When suddenly a little dog ran across the road and I braked and thankfully missed it.

Somewhere in part of my brain I suppose I was aware that something might happen next but I really wasn’t prepared to see a young child running at full speed come out from behind a parked car about a car length in front of me.
Thankfully I still had my foot on the brake at that time and I just braked harder.

Where were the parents?
They were 3 houses down yelling at the child how stupid he was and nervously waving to thank me for not killing their child.
Sure - Put your child’s life in the reflexes of a random stranger.

Turn It Up.

Road Safety Is Your Choice.

Morning Dianne (Grant Goldman is having a few days well deserved for a break.)


This issue is something that affects every one of us, taxpayers, drivers, and pedestrians.

We’ve all seen these dangerous people, 

.....the ones who cross the road without looking.

One of the first lessons children learn as they start out in their school life is how to go about crossing the road - safely.

Safety lessons are taught as a way of life passed onto them by parents, educators, police, road safety advertising and even older children.

The message is: 

Stop. 

Look. 

Listen. 

Look again.

&

Look while you are crossing the road.

The word LOOK is repeated 3 times in a dozen words.

And don’t get me started on those people who walk on the road with their backs to traffic instead of using the footpath.

If Barry O’Farrell wants to save some government money think about cutting the pedestrian road safety campaign funding.

If an adult doesn’t understand the importance of looking before they cross the road do we really think some government advertising campaign is going to keep them safe from themselves?

... Turn It Up
