Concern over pedestrian death increase : "She was thrown 50 metres and ambulance crews could not revive her."
My sister was pulled back just in time from a kerb as she waited to cross at pedestrians lights and they had just turned green. The man apparently apologised profusely for being so abrupt but he saved her from harm as the car raced around the corner oblivious to giving way to pedestrians. He said it was frequent in town these days. Shame. Town drivers were always careful to give way to pedestrians. It's true, you cannot assume cars will stop any more because it's all about them and we have had a number of pedestrians bowled over. 4WD can be lethal under current conditions. On the positive side I have had a number of kind car drivers stop for me as I have waited to cross a road. They have noticed and waved me across as I have to others now. We are aware pedestrians are getting wary, but it shouldn't have to be like that. We can do better.
