All road users , vehicle users and PEDASTRIANS in SL are a mad lot. They all have a death wish. PEDASTRIANS are oblivious to the traffic, and vehicle users are oblivious to vehicles. The both think the road is theirs , and theirs only ,and can use it as they want it.There is absolutely money regard to others , what a mad nihilistic lot.
