idiots.

i read a letter in the hull daily mail a few days ago saying how buses should be restricted to 15 mph around the city centre because the crossing near st stephens is very dangerous. this letter went on to say that the writer had seen a young mum pushing a pram across the crossing having to rush across the road because a bus came from round the blind bend and had to slam his brakes on for the woman, whom he said was crossing on a red light.
Now let me pick this to pieces, firstly, the crossing isnt dangerous as it probably gives pedestrians the longest crossing time of any crossing in hull, a good 2 minutes at least, secondly what a bloody idiot for crossing on a red light, and not only for herself but also pushing a pram and not only was she stupid for doing this on a red light but also when at the writers own admission there is a blind bend!!! I wouldnt mind knocking her over and killing her but i might get a bit upset at killing the kid. A little further into the letter he said about how yes he knows people shouldnt cross on red lights, but they do!!!! what a sodding stupid thing to say. How often as a driver am I sat at a crossing on a red light with absolutely nothing coming? but do I think oh bollocks im not waiting im going to go through.......no i dont so why if people are stood at a crossing with a blind bend do they think it safe to cross, PILLOCKS. about a year ago there was a lad killed at the junction of ferensway and brook street, aparently he was playing chicken with the buses as i heard, for a few weeks later there were flowers pinned to the railings and people were still dodging across in front of buses at the exact spot. I lose count at the number of times each day i have to brake or sound my horn at pedestrians crossing on red lights without even looking or even bothered by the presence of an approaching bus. these are bloody big vehicles and it isnt as if we can sneak up on you.
