Dear Editor

Disheartened by the lack of value shown to pedestrians by some reckless drivers. I'm compelled to highlight that Pedestrians' Lives Matter.

The cost of driver carelessness is staggering, endangering innocent lives at Zebra Crossings. It's baffling how some drivers neglect pedestrian safety, speeding excessively and struggling to stop in time.

Prioritise responsible driving; one reckless decision can shatter families. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, is affected. Education, enforcement, and technological aids are crucial, but they demand a mindset shift.

Drivers and pedestrians alike have the right to safety. Every human can be a pedestrian, crossing at clearly labelled crossings. Let's take a stand, demand better, and drive with caution, ensuring every journey ends safely.

One should avoid self-inflicting lasting torment through careless driving. Let's champion a shift towards a mindset grounded in caution and consideration for pedestrians worldwide.

Thank you,
