[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1009302, member: 176704"] Can't remember how MANY times I have had to use the air-horn (non-OEM on the Skoda!) to "wake up" phone-infatuated pedestrians to wake the F**K up and look around them - and then there were all the instances of pedestrians [I]without[/I] phones who blithly step off pavements without first looking around them. If I "had my way" anybody walking on (or biking!) , or off (!), pavements would be legally required to have 3rd party insurance to protect us motorists against injury claims or damage caused by their crass stupidity And, TBH, car-drivers are not innocent either - last week I saw the female half of a young couple put their young son into the back seat of their car, but, instead of making sure he was securely strapped in, all the time she concentrated on the phone in her hand, and - the last I saw - the kid was leaning over her shoulder and so I doubt if he ever did strap himself in!
