You can see the video of a mall shopper fall seen in a well when writing a text message on your mobile phone to have. If this is not the case, you see it here. Pedestrian led some questions whether hikers regulated similarly distracted germinated laws that should drive themselves across the country breakdowns as follows. For most sounds the idea to write a ticket for a text message or absurd talking on the telephone when crossing the road. But a distracted walking law has already proposed, in New York City, and some California residents think that it should also be considered.


Johnson, for a value, says it runs constantly distracted in almost accidents with pedestrians. "First of all, if I inside a mall, only step-out and I hit it on my brakes," she said ABC local. Pedestrians are a serious problem here in California, accidents and deaths caused already this year 8 pedestrian zone. Safety advocates and officials have suggested the city to cities such as San Francisco for pedestrians to make safe the road infrastructure projects, but so far none have suggested that a California distracted walking law passed.


California Senator Joe Simitian is distracted the best-known advocate for stricter driving laws here in California. Simitian began earlier in this year also some criticism for writing, that a distracted driving law which increased fines for cyclists SMS captured or on the road speak. "The consequences of one driver much more serious than the consequences of the cycling, are distracted distracted", said California Bicycle Coalition Communications Director Jim Brown. "As far as I know it is no accident evidence on shows a Problem…this law seems premature."


Simitian defended the provision against distracted cycling, but similar logic used to the need for a law exclude distracted on foot. He said "At some point, the we just to questions people for their own healthy common sense and well-being responsible". But this does not mean, of course, that pedestrians the potential dangers of texting or phoning when crossing is to ignore the road. "If you are a pedestrian, you are more vulnerable than any of us who are at least buckled from ther in and behind the wheel of a car," he added.


You do your part to avoid additional calls for legislation for distracted walking and simply put the phone away while crossing a dangerous or busy intersection.
