I'm not having a go at you, I'm just reminding everyone that most laws are put in place for a reason.

I would call that irresposible on the pedestrians behalf on using an Ipod or walkman when planning on crossing a road used by cars, thats just as dangerous as a driver using it, which is illegal.
Not only that but most nature strips have bushy trees and shrubs which block views also, lift up concrete paths and invade pipeworks.
The laws these days seem to cater for the idiots who have no responsibilities or their actions. Drivers need too watch for pedestrians but pedestrians need to watch for cars too
