What on earth are you babbling on about? You could be well within the speed limit and someone suddenly steps out into the road completely oblivious and within a few feet of you, with phone to ear, not having looked to his right or left, and you'd have to slam the brakes on. That's all I'm saying. Yet for some reason, instead of agreeing with me that a pedestrian doing that would be a moron causing you to have to suddenly brake hard, you're fighting me over this. It's all very well you trying to patronise, but you don't live in london where stuff like that happens all the time. The only excitement you get in cumbria is when some random nutter comes along shooting everyone. I doubt much happens on your roads.
