hmmkay :

here there is a shopping street that is deemed "shared zone" and the speed limit is 10kmh on this strip with pedestrians having equal rights as cars, both coexisting on the road etc... THIS type of thing imho desensitizes pedestrians to the dangers of meandering out on the road at their leisure. Also one day a police officer sat on the side the street in full uniform with a radar it looked like he was having a field day. My car at idle not touching pedals rolls on flat ground at about 15kmh - so with zero throttle and zero brake I am speeding, and it seems so was many others. - As for joining a political party does the guy who suggested it belong to one? Since when did politicians pay attention to what we have to say anyway?

Nobody has touched on the trauma a driver suffers from hitting a pedestrian, regardless of who was at fault the driver will suffer for much time before they get over the fact they injured someone. As for alcohol being a contributing factor as pedestrians are intoxicated and wind up getting hit we NEED to change our behavior, How many times do you see a group of guys giving each other lip because one is drinking light, or one isn't drinking as fast etc. This mindset that if you don't drink to excess you are a wimp or ... erm several other terms, needs to stop and stop now. Medically speaking at MOST an average male should drink is a 6 pack of heavy beer, and even that is being overly generous, but these people that are dying drink far more than that.
