Sadly some people never learn though. I ran a kid over when I was doing 20mph in Portsmouth a number of years ago. I never had a chance to see him as he ran straight out and didn't look. Ambulance and Police turned up (as I rang them) and the kid laughed when asked if he'd been run over before. Apparently he'd been run over 15 times before as he kept forgetting to look when he crossed the road.

You see them all the time. People who just walk out in to the road in the blind belief that the traffic will instantly stop for them. They either either lucky and no traffic is near them, or they get a close scare. Sometimes though they aren't lucky !!
I believe it's called natural selection. ;)

Sounds like he enjoys it if he's been knocked over 15 times :D

Reminds me of a time I was in Streatham, boy pops a wheelie on the wrong side of the road on the busy London road, a school girl looks both ways to find herself directly under the bike.

He hits and lands on the girl. This forces him to fall off and his seat, wing mirror come off. He calmly picks up the mo-ped and calmly climbs back on and rides away... no sweat.

Thankfully he dropped a cap (hair - DNA) and some other belongings leading to his ID and as if something from a movie those helpful road sweepers come and sweep everything up... I don't know what happened to the girl as my bus came but yea thats emblazoned in my memory.

When my daughter was that young, I always walked in front of the pram when crossing the street. I'd rather have myself get hit rather than her.
They should really invent a busy LONDON pram that you can drag behind ur lardy ass (Not saying yours is lardy - just saying NICE SIGHT for a child) so you step out for that all important first look.

Dibs on 10% if I see anyone with this on Dragons Den.

My cousin had been hit that many, he didnt like losing his ear to that wing mirror that time, but when I asked him how he crossed the road he said this...

"I just close my eyes, hold my ears, scream and run"

Natural selection indeed. - If ur gunne be dumb you better be tough

Just coming out of town on the reading relief road (1pm friday). As I was driving past the roundabout where Matalan and the petrol station is if you know Reading.

I heard a moped horn
Looked round and saw a runner get hit full on (must have been about 30).
The runner was about 3 feet in the air and then the moped rider followed over the top of him.
Also saw the lights where on green for the biker so the runner must have just ran across the crossing without looking.

Not a nice sight :O
and you didnt film it why?

me , my bro and markie C, shown the Dynasty guys when they came over for their clinic at Northern Quarter.....

we were out getting drunk in Manc Town and as we got a Kebab, right in front of our eye's this car ran down 2 of these guy's who were walking along side the road, the 2 guys were like 20 yards apart from each other so it was no accident, they got hit like at 40MPH and spun like 20 foot in the air and landed on their heads (blood everywhere, its was like that bus scene from Final destination movie) we had to give statements etc , and i think they both died or at least one did apprently it was gang related

the Dynasty guys were like "HOLY FOOK! Manchester is a rough hood!!" they were in complete shock
