I cannot believe the number of people who drive over a zebra crossing when I am half way across it.

The crossing on Eastern road outside the County Hospital has to be one of the worst. Every day I try to scuttle across as quickly as I can and I never walk directly on to it - I always stand and wait at the kerb first.

I was half way across a few days ago when a jeep sped up and nearly knocked me down. The driver braked sharply and gave me a filthy look. I know people who have been injured there.

Please take care and stop. Zebra crossings are there for a reason and one of these days it could be a mother with a child or an elderly person.
