But my concern is more about the wisdom of actions with an admittedly slow old dog. And don't forget about the other legal aspects for pedestrians, at least in Victoria: http://tinyurl.com/y6m5u4 especially rule 230 and 236 -- Cheers Peter ~~~ ~ _@ ~~ ~ _- \, ~~ (*)/ (*) |

TO me it looks very much like you have, and you have said so in the other post. Really not sure what you are referring to here!! I would love to see the 'other post' where I have stated, or assumed that either of these people needed anger management. I think you may be mixing up the posts. If you say that you make no assumption about her being legit or not, then I'll believe you. Indeed, I certainly cannot make any assumption about the nature of, or the legitimacy of, the crossing. Can only go by the letter. But the lady did seem to infer that the rider was riding with intention to proceed - not so likely if he was riding up to a red light. -- Cheers Peter ~~~ ~ _@ ~~ ~ _- \, ~~ (*)/ (*) |

Try as I might I can't seem to get much anger into a yell of "hurry up!" Remind me to demonstrate next time our paths cross. Heck, I can express anger in saying ``Yes Sir,'' a trait most NCOs develop. That would be "Yes Cur" |

But IF I did want to cros a (perhaps) busy road near a popular beach, and IF I was walking my elderly dog (which I do not have) I would think it wise to take the slow moving dog to cross at a signalled crossing, for its own sake. I have trouble with the idea that traffic; be it bicycle, car, truck etc; should expect a crossing speed of a pedestrian greater than the pedestrian is capable of. That is no different to motorists getting narky with fully loaded touring cyclists toiling uphill at less than 15km/h. The road rules clearly state that pedestrians must take the shortest route to cross a road and that they should do so expediently. It's not for any individual to demand a minimum speed at which said crossing occurs and whilst the pedestrian's crossing, priority rests with the pedestrian. A little bit of forbearance and tolerance goes a long way. -- Cheers Euan |
