Sad State Of Affairs

I watch a car turn right out of Johnston Street into Smith Street. At the same time a pedestrian crosses Smith Street after the little man has turned red. The driver of the car recklessly nearly runs the pedestrian over.

It’s sad but true, that drivers would rather run a pedestrian over who is crossing the lights when the little man has turned red than give away to them. 

What does that say about our society? Cruelty has just become the norm.

Especially, in Victoria, a car must give way to pedestrians irrespective of what colour the little man is.

You see, despite what many driver's think, the red and green man on a crossing has nothing to do with the driver, they are only there for the pedestrian as an indication of how long they have before the lights change.

Anyway, I turn up Queen's Sheer Heart Attack and walk away.
