Uberfahrt - Crossing

Trusting drivers by default at zebra crossings will probably get your legs smashed off - it‘s only a matter of time. Generalizing massively, I can state that most drivers are selfish pricks, and care more about saving that five seconds on their journey than potentially maiming a penniless pedestrian like me. I think most people avoid accidents because they’re not great for either party; they driver gets a ban or a prison sentence, and the pedestrian gets a wheelchair or a funeral. There’s no real winners, or rather there shouldn’t be. But then compensation culture crossed the Atlantic and now we’re bombarded with adverts demanding we claim the pots and pots money that’s rightfully ours. If someone’s put you out in any way, regardless of how much a genuine accident it was, they need to pay you for it through, of course, a scumbag lawyer firm who’ve adopted a ’trading name’, such as Injury Lawyers 4 U, to cynically appeal to the working (but mostly unemployed) class. Even drivers who hit pedestrians at crossings are able to sue if they can ‘prove’ they weren’t paying attention to oncoming traffic. Which is so ludicrous you may think I’ve just made it up for this piece to shabbily prove an insubstantial point. So, unless you want to get injured, dead, or find yourself paying for the Injury Lawyers 4 U Christmas rape party (I‘m assured that‘s what they do to celebrate the festive season), always look both ways before stepping out!
