Ed, I missed #97, but your arguement regarding our brave new world...
"I think we need to recognise that a lot of developments have taken place since the days when people walked everywhere and pavements were predominantly for pedestrians. The inventions of the bicycle, prams, baby buggies, mechanised sweepers, skateboards, mobility scooters, etc, etc, mean that pavements are now a shared space and pedestrians need to get used to it and keep their wits about them."
This IS you paedophile arguement. You propose to promote a wrong by specious reasoning.
Pavements are still for pedestrians and should remain so.
Precincts, where the motorist is excluded and where there may be a mixing of modes of transport the responsibility for safety must lie with the non-pedestrian and speeds should not exceed walking speed.
It is never good enough to blame the victim.
