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

Watch out for road safety

One of the big issues in road safety, car manufacturer, and politics is the issue of pedestrian safety.

Our school children are told to look before they cross the roads, but increasingly we have more and more people who cross the road without even looking and seem oblivious to the dangers of stepping in front of moving vehicles.

A few nights ago after 9pm in the middle of a dark Sydney suburban road two people both dressed in dark colours the lady was in black from her head scarf to her feet the man in dark brown and when I noticed them they had just stepped out from the centre line to be in lane I was driving in and now front of the car I was driving. 

As I noticed them I hit the brakes and horn about the same time.

Fortunately my driving kept them safer than their common-sense did, and do you think what they were yelling and shaking their fists was; to say Thanks for that? 

Thank you we realise we were idiots and shouldn't be stepping out in front of cars on a dark road???
