It staggers me the number of drivers who do not stop at pedestrian crossings.

Since having a baby in March, I do a lot more walking with my pram rather than using my car, however, every time I am confronted by a pedestrian crossing I am alarmed at how many people continue to drive over and don't stop.

So, to the woman who nearly knocked me and my baby down this morning near the BP garage and to all those other people who don't bother to stop, please remind yourselves that it is your duty to stop and allow pedestrians to cross safely.
