Its strange really, I became a car driver because as a pedestrian I was fed up of negotiating high speed cars, ditches and the grass verges. It all became very dicey to walk to and from the station. This time last year I donned my high vis jacket morning and night and was cursing those drivers that failed miserably to slow down and give me a wide birth. Do you know something as a driver I am sick and tired of pedestrians walking on the wrong side of the road, in the dark, in dark clothing and no high vis jacket. Like I wish a year ago drivers would give pedestrians a bit of respect. I do wish pedestrians would help motorists. Funnily enough as a driver horse riders that ride two abreast really hack me off as do the cyclists that appear to ride as a group and take up the whole of the road. I just potter around I don't go anywhere very fast. As for the pratt in the 4x4 that overtook me on a hill and was confronted the other side with an on coming car, behind that horses and behind that pedestrians. I hope it bl**dy well frightened you.
Its all about respect for other road users. A bit like society really a bit of thought for someone else goes a long way.
