Don't you just love the council's response.
"...they not only face a fine but they run the risk of causing injury to the
tens of thousands of passengers, including school children, that use it every week."
Now correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but wasn't this the same council who opened this bus gate without laying down a single zebra crossing to enable pedestrians safe passage across the busy bus lanes?
And correct me if I'm wrong again (I'm not), but when they finally bowed to pressure and did lay down some zebra crossings, didn't they forget a load of zig zag lines that would ensure the safety of the
tens of thousands of passengers, including school children that use them every week?
And since it is admitted by the council that ""It is is dangerous to drive through the bus station, which is for buses and taxis only,..." perhaps that same Medway council spokesperson who fed the paper this
bullshit line would also like to explain to us mere mortals exactly why it is less dangerous to be knocked down by a bus or taxi? Surely to be entirely safe it would be far better if all traffic was banned, or better still, let all traffic use it as a road, and ban all those pesky pedestrians who have a nasty habit of throwing themselves in front of motor vehicles that have the right of way in the first place.
And don't even get me started on
"..."this car was fined..."
