Pedestrians today are taking road safety for granted

Today's pedestrian are really taking safety for granted, talking over mobile , SMSing, KISSING, TALKING, DANCING across the road. There is no sense of urgency in crossing the road.

Just this morning when I was driving along Ang Mo Kio, a lady just walk across the road irregardless of my approaching, while her husband stood on the dividing white line.

There are also some drivers who are inpatience, and some no conscience or bad judgement, this pedestrian will get it. Verdict - Accident. Who lose out? Stupid pedestrian of course.

Why are some pedestrians crossing with such disregard, having a "dare the motorist to hit them" attitude?

Many think motorist will slow down for them, but they may meet a driver that are not paying attention in car or one with slower physo-motor skill or inexperience and accident will happen.

Let's not take road safety for granted.

Insurance can compensate for accident, but why suffer the pain and the lost of live?
