One thing I'd say is that as a driver I saw quite a lot of people doing this (walking on the road in front of me) but they were all very blithe in assuming I could stop in time. Please bear in mind that (however slowly and carefully it may be going) a 2 tonne car doesn't stop as easily on half-ice as on a normal day! Same goes for zebra crossings - people were just calmly stepping out in front of traffic as if it was a sunny dry day in July. |
