Expecting traffic to stop for you is a dream in this city. I cross Victoria Street every morning on my way to work.
It mystifies me how people will ignore you, stare at you keep on driving. Even when you are already in the middle of the street and waiting to cross the 2nd half.
Many times,I have wanted to kick in the side of their vehicles as they pass by.
They ignore the laws. They have no respect for pedestrians. They have no respect for people.
Or, They are distracted by yapping to someone else in the vehicle. Or, they are yapping on a cell phone with a coffee in the other hand.
Makes me really wonder where these people grew up? What happened to manners, respect and common courtesy? Percy
