pedestrian distractions

Motorists, are forbidden by law (in Australia) from using their mobile (cell) phones while driving, as they could distract them into taking their eyes off the road.

So too, pedestrians can be distracted when crossing busy roads and not notice cars approaching.

New South Wales Police has launched a campaign to advise pedestrians to "never cross a road while using headphones or mobile phones".



I have to admit that I am one of these pedestrians.
