Drivers LOOK OUT for Pedestrians Crossing

This will be straight to the point. Someone was telling me that there nephew was intending to cross on a pedestrian crossing, there was a car waiting at the crossing, she thought he wasn't crossing and started to go ....as he stepped onto the crossing!! he stopped she stopped , as he set off ,so did she hitting him and leaving him rolling off the bonnet, luckily he suffered no serious injuries.

In short when you've stopped at a crossing apply your handbrake and make sure any pedestrians have completely cleared the front of your vechicle before you move. Awareness approaching any kind of pedestrian crossing is essential,pedestrians are all to easy to KILL!
Come on drivers treat them how you want to be treated when your out there.

It always amazes me how many cars do not slow down to let anyone cross anywhere, they are so eager to get where their going. There seems to be an ongoing trend pedestrians to cross without looking.
Please drive safely and keep others safe.
