I walk a lot with mindees as I cant use the car for work and whenever we are out and about we obviously wait for the green man before crossing at traffic lights.
Last night I finished work at 5.55pm, rushed down to school with dd for 6pm who was doing a end of year play and then sat in a boiling hot school hall for an hour. We'd had no tea so decided to call at the chippy. :D
I was tired after a 10hr day and it was about 8pm. I was driving and got to the traffic lights which were red. Stopped at the lights and wanted to turn right, I was chatting to my son and then started watching the green man. It went green so I went.....lol
Got to the middle of the road where I usually wait for oncoming traffic before turning right and I thought 'why is no-one moving?'
Then it dawned on me......doh!! Id nearly run over two young chaps who were waiting to cross. good job they saw the funny side when i apologised. :blush:
So then I had to sit in the middle of the road with everyone looking at me, I felt such an idiot...i bet they were thinking 'woman driver!!'..lol
So....Its a good idea to go with the green man when you are on foot :laughing:
