Hi all.
I was taught my driving lessons, that a zebra crossing gives pedestrians a permanent right of way, and that you are to wait until the pedestrian has completely left the crossing before setting off. He said, "What if the pedestrian stopped and turned around to walk back?"
Always made sense to me and so I've adhered to that ever since.
the logic is simple, if there is a pedestrian on the crossing, wait until there is no longer a pedestrian on the crossing.
I'm seeing more and more people setting off after the pedestrian has made it past half way, and even today somebody behind beeping because I didn't do so.
This could do with a poll.
What do you do? Wait; themz the rules. Or go; they've crossed my path now and I stopped in the first place to facilitate that.
Or is it the case that the rules changed to the more cautious approach and some didn't get the newsletter?
