New street crossing alerts drivers if pedestrian is looking at theirphone
A hi-tech crossing which alerts drivers when a pedestrian using a mobile
phone steps in front of traffic has been unveiled. The surface of the so-called smart crossing features LED lights which illuminate based on the movement of road users detected by cameras. This means a thick red line lights up across the road when someone walks out unexpectedly. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tran...-a3653431.html -- Bod |

You are 100% a prick. |

You are 100% a prick. Translation: Mr Pounder believes it's ok for a pedestrian to blindly cross the road without looking, and it's up to the driver to avoid him. Having now got the OAP bus pass I often go into town and sit upstairs on one of the front seats. As the bus goes through town numerous folk seem oblivious to any traffic and merely cross, admittedly at a zebra, without a glance whether or not they are on their phone. The drivers, who definitely have more patience than I, clearly are anticipating as can be felt by the throttle being lifted or a bit of precautionery brake before the pedestrian has reached anywhere near the edge of the kerb. Then the number who dawdle across, oblivious to the fact they are holding up 50 passengers, is staggering. Personally I'd put cow catchers on the front, and I mega-loud sound system, or alternatively allow natural selection to take place. -- AnthonyL |

I can't tell if you're having a go at the moronic pedestrian who's never heard of the green cross code, or the driver who you think should for some reason avoid ****wits that need splatted from the gene pool. Keep it up PHucker. Not that we need anymore reasons to know that you are 100% a psychopath. |
