What about people who live on busy roads no peace for them!

Whatever next a man with a red flag?

It just goes to show how we are conditioned to expect cars to make noise. It's weird seeing so much metal and plastic go past you and make so little noise. If only they could do the same to the noisiest motorbikes, that would be a step forward

Maybe we should bring back the Green Cross Code adverts, re-educate the pedestrian in all of us
