I don't understand what's so important to discuss while cross road. Most of the people know that it's hazardous but still do it. :angry:
I too find it weird that people choose to talk with rapt attention when they have to cross the road or at traffic signals disregarding safety for themselves and others too...Cant it wait for a few seconds or minutes ?

I think a notice board should be paced on different roads saying
"Do not use cellphones while crossing road or we shall have to waste petrol for carrying you to hospital dead or injured''
This should help the cause effectively.

Sure, it serves the purpose. We are not those who care for the rules if said in a gentle and smooth way. Only such type of drastic warnings only work on us. I appreciate your soggestion

LOL, the person may be too busy conversing on his mobile to see any notices...the more information is available to people on the net and elsewhere the more blind they seem to become to their immediate surroundings...

Even notices, fines don't work for Indian as we are used to break rules. The funny thing is we are ready to face danger but never want to follow the rules or indication. Everyone is in a hurry to overtake another no time to think or stop for a while.. :dry:
Once I saw a women talking on phone while using escalator.. she was having 2 to 3 bags in her hand and one hand is engaged in talking.. she almost slipped but didn't fell luckily. what if she couldn't have managed..can't see wait for a min and finish the conversation. I warned her that escalator is not like lift...then she laughed but still didn't caught my point. :S :blink: :)

I remember a similar incident in Bangalore in a mall where a lady's high heel got caught in the grove of an escalator since she was too busy chatting and holding bags with the other hand....she fell down and thankfully other than some minor bruises to her hands and fingers dint have any serious injury,,,am sure she has learnt her lesson! :dry:

I always appreciate a notice on hilly roads in my area that reads
Better late than never- your family is waiting for you eagerly- Please do not be a cause for their disappointment- your life is precious for them.
I always see the drivers loosen grip on gas paddle.

Yes that is a good one, while travelling from Mangalore to Bangalore on the western ghat roads there are many sign posts that are amusing as well as imprinting the message into your mind..I must take pictures of some of them while travelling..

I think she must have learnt a lesson but I think even high pointed heels are also injurious sometime while climbing steps or uneven flooring.

We can't say anything about these bizarre style trends. Tomorrow walking with crutches may become the fashion of the day.

Of course high heels are dangerous in many ways and all the more reason for her to watch her step instead by getting immersed in conversation on her mobile phone...

I always avoid listening to the phone calls when I am walking on road or driving vehical as I do find it diverting my mind. I have seen many people too much attentive on the calls even they fall sometimes on the road. :lol:

I too have seen many such misadventures and with the condition of roads in our cities you need to have to be all eyes and these mobile users endanger themselves so many times.I never speak while I am driving or walking on the street,if I get a call while I am walking, I stop and speak if it is from my family, the rest I call back later...
