  • LA66 FFG - £100 fine and 3 penalty points accepted (update from police on 29/4/19)
    KP12 DXE, Met response recieved 11/02/19:
    "With regards to KP12DXE (966-1218-19) the case has been marked up for no further action as the close pass was deemed not a close pass/poor manoeuvre."
    Which contradicts highway code rule 163.
    The driver complains about me being in the middle of the road with a 20mph speed limit (1, I think it is actually 30mph, 2, he seems to think the 20mph limit is a target...) whilst not getting the irony of sitting stationery in traffic and complaining to me...

      She admitted that she had NOT seen the parent and child crossing the road when she zoomed through. Presumably, as a parent herself, she would be horrified at her own actions.

    It's utterly amazing how many distracted or moronic drivers won't stop for pedestrian crossings.
    I walk my kids to school most days and have to cross a main road on a Zebra crossing with white zig zags, belisha beacons etc.
    It's utterly astounding how many people just blast on through when you are stood there waiting, or if they do stop suddenly because they notice you at the very last moment, they get extremely defensive when you give them a stare or sarcastic hand clap. All the warning signs are there, they just choose to ignore them.

    I know that videos don't give the real experience of the lighting and colours of the real world, but it seems to me that darkly clothed people against a dark background were a large part of the problem. Sure, it was a pedestrian crossing, and she should have slowed and looked for pedestrians, but if she was just by default relying on peripheral vision, and the people blended into the background, they would have been easy to miss. Even more so if she only 'saw' them in the blind spot of the one eye that could register them the angle of view only allowed monocular vision from her right eye.
    Pedestrians need to be always aware that they might not be seen, particulalry if they are wearing dark against a dark background.
