Have they got a death wish, walking out in front of cars reversing in car parks, have they left their brains at home when they go shopping.
And one driver I saw STOPPED at the Exit of the car park and held everyone up both going out and going into the area, where does this thinking come from ? |

Pedestrians have right of way Lol.
They are just crazy people. Besides, to drive around someone walking infront of you is negligent driving anyway |

this is not confined to canberra.they do it everywhere.
I don't mind giving way to pedestrians but they walk up the side of a reversing car and then walk behind it.
The worrying part is most of these people drive cars. |

My concerns are that these adults are teaching their children to do the same, and I am fearfull that more children will be injured; and
just because you have right of way (which I think is doubtfull) does not mean you put yourself or your child in harm as you well know Drivers don't always see the child behind their car. |

madcowmess: John Hargreaves has trained these people....
Sorry but I don't understand your thinking here; what does a Politician have to do with this topic ?
Just another experience: two 4 x wheel drivers reversed out without looking to see if anything was behind them; and no doubt they would blame the person they injured for being there in the firt place.
Come on Canberra People give a little thought to what you are going, some common sense would go a long way. |

aprilhud123,
John Hargreaves has for many years been guiding the social maturing of the people of Canberra. I struggle to think why it is that you would not understand the involvement and progress reports on the stewardship at the hand of this MLA. |

Maybe it is because I have a mind of my own; and why I would consider blaming anyone for my decision to walk behind a car backing out of a car space (we all know that cars have blind spots; and cant see people at times) |

Seems as if Madcow thinks differently from many other people; saying that Pedestrians have right of way in car parks for example "so why do we have pedestrian crossings in these locations"; and I don't think he is capable of self determination or knowing what it is.
I do hope that some common sense prevails and people start teaching their children the "rules of the road" |

If you are driving a car, no matter your opinion about peds, it is the driver that has the higher responsibility to not drive over a ped.

That is a given madcowmess; however, it is also a fact that a person can stop faster that a car; and which one would sustain the most injury? |

| I have my heart in my mouth every time my bus goes through Civic Interchange in the morning. People just randomly crossing in front of busses without looking. I have nothing but admiration for the bus drivers in this situation when I see these people treating the interchange like a zebra crossing. |

| aprilhud123, a driver claiming I didn't look and that the ped should have known better would amount to a tragedy that can be avoidable. Drivers have supreme responsibility for their driving actions, not the ped. |

| What if the ped is a child. Children do not have the same grasp of driving as does a licenced motorist. Your thoughts? |

Children have to learn; and Road Rules are usually taught by Parents.
My thoughts are that we need to again teach Road Rules on TV like any other advertising campain. |

You have said nothing convincing about your idea that it is the responsibility of the ped. I maintain that ALL reponsibility is with the driver.
Cheers. |

| Actually, I have been involved with assisting a friends child. Nevertheless, the driver has total responsibility for the dangers involved in driving, not the peds. |
