We were out for our evening walk, a couple of days ago, and were waiting at a signal. Our walk signal came on (along with the green light for people going straight and right). There was this car waiting to turn right...and the lady did not even bother to let us go..my MIL almost stepped on to the road when my husband, seeing the turning car, asked her to step back.
The lady turned and went off...without any hesitation.
4 years back, when I was giving my driving test, I made the same mistake, and was disqualified...From then on, I have stopped for every single pedestrian who has come before me...even if they did not have the signal to walk....and then there are people like this who drive as if the whole road is their property.
No doubt aparna.. that lady must be from Bangalore..lol! u know abt our Indian traffic, i face this daily here. Once a bmtc bus almost hit me.. it was red signal for vehicles, so i started crossing the road..i saw a bus coming so fast as if it has no plans to stop at the signal.. i ran back and am alive today ;). the life of pedestrians are horrible here.
