Do You Life Saver?

  1. When walking. Something I do and only really noticed today, before I change direction or move from my direct line on a path, I have a small glance behind when I have earphones in, just to check a pushbike or faster walker isn’t going to run into me.

    Anyone else do that?

  5. Normally I do.

    I doubly do so now, seeing as how the lockdown has brought every inconsiderate jogger and cyclist to our pavements.
     
  6. A simple yes would do.
    YES.

  7. Agreed. OP should have made this a yes or no poll with no option to post comments.

    Good thinking, Steve. I'm glad smacking yourself in the face is not affecting your cognitive abilities!

    I wish pedestrians would just look when crossing a road let alone be actively aware of what’s going on !!

  13. Very rare on the bike, but more in car and road crossing etc , can never hear those electric , apparently health conscious cars coming.
     
  14. Sounds a popular thing. So why is it, whenever I am walking a bit quick EE than those sprung me, everyone just changes direction without thought of anyone bumping into them?!
     
  15. People are a lot stupider that they used to be, when I was young. There are several proofs of this and several reasons for it being the case.

    Some Causes:
    One reason - we are creating a society where the need to be intelligent is becoming redundant. Another reason - Government policy.

    Some Proofs:
    One - Have you met people, recently? Two - Public schools and universities provide ample evidence.
     
  16. Yep. Definitely a biker thing. They should make it compulsory in supermarkets ;)
