• W139062007 abstract "Editor—Analyse the assumptions that drivers make when they complain about road safety campaigns and you must conclude that drivers believe that they and their business are inherently more important than the lives of anyone on foot. There is no other explanation for their attitudes. Scratch a driver and you find someone who really believes—perhaps without even realising it—that he or she has the right to kill people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.How else do you explain the way that one acquaintance told me about a neighbour's recent experience? The neighbour had turned too fast around a corner and run into two young girls on a crossing. One was killed, the other badly injured. “Poor chap,” said the man. “He didn't stand a chance.”No thought of the chances of the children in the neighbour's path. You can be certain that he faced a fine and that the girls' parents wished they had got away as lightly.This is a British problem. Walk around Vancouver, or Detroit, or even southern Portugal and most drivers will let you cross the road they are turning into—as is still provided by law in the United Kingdom but universally ignored. Drivers in these and other places tend to treat people on foot as no different from themselves.Perhaps as a legacy of the days when the gentry drove round in carriages, generations of British schoolchildren have been indoctrinated to defer to drivers. If they so much as hear a car, they are told, they should wait until it goes by.The lesson is that the police and others who indoctrinate children this way are not teaching pedestrians, they are teaching tomorrow's drivers. When these children pass their driving tests they expect to inherit a level of abjection no civilised society should tolerate.Surely drivers who don't accept a duty of care to other road users and who drive without regard for the safety of others are unwell, whatever the medical term. If you doubt this, think what would happen if they acted similarly in any context other than a conflict between driver and pedestrian or cyclist.It is a matter that needs to be emphasised in the BMJ because, whatever the (under-reported) statistics tell us, the undeclared war on child and other pedestrians is sapping the NHS of resources and inflicting untold grief among the rest of us." @default.
