i'll agree with you on that neil ..

i see drivers going through rising bridge using their mobiles more often than not im stood in the middle of the road at a pedestrian bit .. and i keep on thinking one day someone is going to hit someone stood there waiting to cross the road. Today just under an hour ago .. i was stood there waiting to cross .. and a man came past more interested in the pub rather than looking where he was going in fact he was 'rubbernecking' as in looking over his shoulder at the pub .. next car came along man driving looking at his wife/girl passenger and laughing ..next car came out of northfield road 2 men talking and laughing ..

Im only a pedestrian stood in the middle of the road waiting for them to pass .. but theyre more interested in talking to their passengers or looking at whats going on at the side of the road .. rather than looking ahead and watching where they were going ..
