To think more and more people are failing to stop at zebra crossings

[scarednoob]

It seems to be getting more and more common for people to ignore the pedestrian standing at the zebra crossing and to zoom over it without giving a tiny shit. It's so dangerous, particularly for people with pushchairs or wheelchairs who can't jump back as quickly when some twat (usually a berk on a dominos scooter) decides the law doesn't apply to them.

A friend of mine is a psychologist and she's done a lot of rehab work with people who suffered terrible brain damage after being hit on zebra crossings.

Am I imagining it, or has anyone else noticed this too? And am I BU to think that it's usually young male drivers and to think a targeted safety campaign would be no bad thing?

Undramatic I do understand what you mean, I do dislike the way the young men especially wander into the road and then cross really slowly just to make you slow down.
However, if a pedestrian is crossing the road then you have to stop, especially at a zebra crossing. Even if they are a twat.

There's a crossing near me that's a complete nightmare. Regularly cars just do not stop. I'm over cautious and alway wait, but beginning to wonder if there's something about that crossing that makes it invisible to drivers. I might contact the council or the local MP. He was banging on about road safety elsewhere in the constituency in one of his newsletters.
