You do the crime you do the time Zed. Bl00dy menance to society

You guys mustn't have much crime over there in WA......if targeting people not crossing the road properly requires so much attention?!?

I'd like to see signs showing...

"Police targeting murderers!"

or.....

"Police targeting thieves!"

or.....


"Police targeting gang bashings"

or.....

"Police targeting vandals and people destroying property"

or.....

"Police targeting people targeting Police?!?"


That'd get my vote!

Is it Jay walking if u walk up the road a bit and cross where there are no lights?

I was learning at city west. Pretty close to the city. my instructor siad they were breaking the law.
I dont think pedestrians always have right of way. Only when you are turning. Or at a cross walk.
What difference does having a liscence make? Im still driving on the same road....

Well make sure you only cross at the lights in your town, ok Mark!

Pedestrians do not always have right of way. I got my drive safe book out (not to prove anyone wrong, but i wanted to see if i was wrong).

Drivers and riders MUST give way to pedestrians (including peopple in wheel chairs) who are:
-crossing at an intersection in front of your turning vehicle;or
-crossing at a pedestrian crossing (zebra) or children's crossing;or
-crossing at a marked foot crossing (traffic signal controlled crossing for vehicles and pedestrian lights for pediestrians) when a light facing vehicles is flashing yellow or red;or
-crossing in front of your vehicle at a slip lane (a left turn at an intersection where there is an island between that lane and lanes for other traffic)

that is word for word. Was published in 05, so if the rules have changed meh.

So in any situation other than these you just run em over???

YA GOOSE!!!

We wouldnt have to run em over if they were obeying the law.
If no cars are around sure go for your life. But its a safety thing, and a person is going to come off second best.

It doesn't matter what the publications say.....if you 'walk' into a car, you might get abused - no legal matter......if you 'kill' a pedestrian by hitting them with your car, because you thought you had the right of way......you better pack your vas, and best pair of orange coveralls!!!

Basically, you could get angry about the situation and abuse all walkers, or slow down, let the pedestrians pass, chillin' out, singing along with your fave tune, and everyone gets to their destination alive......prob solved!

As for Zed's initial post.....cross the road when there's no cars in sight, even if the little man's red, but don't complain if you get a fine from an 'undercover' secret jay-walking detective hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce on some poor innocent jay-walker!!!!

You did recieve your warning!

Is jay walking like beer driving ???

They had a crack down on jay walking in Adelaide recently after a couple of people were killed; personally if you can't cross the road without being hit by a car then the gene pool ain't gonna miss you, standard Darwin principle.
