I mean honestly, if you're too obsessed with your phone to be looking forward while walking, then you deserve to walk into a friggin' lamp-post.

How much money for this? They'll be ripped down by vandals and so on...

Why can't the money go towards starving kids ... or books for schools ... or just porn. :p

please tell me you are fooking kidding? that is retarded as all hell. people who are texting and not paying attention to where they are going need to run into things. it might knock a little sense into them - and even if it doesn't that is what you get for not watching where you are going.

[DeadJonas190]

What a waste of money.

*sigh* Gone are the days when we Brits could look all superior and sneer "only in America" at these pathetic stories. :(

And I agree with the general feeling that people who are too stupid to look where they are going deserve to bump into lamp posts and look like the dickheads they are.

What'll they do about the crossings? If they aren't paying attention on the sidewalk why should they at the crosswalk?

It's all because of this stupid liability culture.

i am sure that crossing guards at all the major intersections will be the next step.

This is about as stupid as those people you see driving down the interstate while combing thier hair, putting on make up, eating, and talking on their cell phone all at once. *cough*women*cough*:p

Apparently there are some utterly retarded plans in the works to do a pilot scheme somewhere which would CHARGE people/FINE people for using the outside lane of a motorway...:eek::dead::eek:

It defies any logic and is an intensely blatant cash grab...plus it makes no sense whatsoever all over again.

I think they're all smoking crack in London, f*ckin' loons.

so they want to tell you what lane you can drive in and when you can use the other lane?

that is totally nuts.

it seems that someone has thrown the stupid switch to full blast over there.

still considering that move to this side of the atl?

If I was in the money, I'd be eyeing up Canada more and more seriously every time one of these retarded schemes or ideas was dreamed up by the gubment.

But I'm skint...:rolleyes:
