Sometimes people cross the road without thinking and sometimes during the night we have to brake fast to avoid hitting them. Do you think it is right to cross the road without looking?

its true that some people cross the road without thinking or looking and these people do this absent mindedly, some of them are worried and thinking about their problems they forget they are about to cross the road..this leads to accedents. lets not blame them its human nature and we forget where we are or what we a doing when we are deeply troubled, i myself have crossed the road only to be pulled back by a friend and what was i thinking about? i got a call a minute earlier that i had lost my grand ma, she was too dear to me i forgot my surrounding, forgot i was walking with a friend..FORGOT I WAS ABOUT TO CROSS A ROAD!!!

Obviously no, it's not right to cross the road without looking cause it could endanger your life.
At school I can still remember we are being taught how to cross the road properly, looking at your left and right before making the first step, making sure that it's safe to cross the road anytime. Now I'm sure everyone hasn't forgotten about that.
Sometimes people's carelessness is the cause of their accident. So just be careful when on the street and wherever we may be.
Ciao!

I don't worry too much in the village because there isn't much traffic but I usually glance both ways before I cross. It must be a nightmare for drivers to suddenly be confronted by a dark-clothed pedestrian crossing the road without checking first. There are people who walk around with their walkman blasting through their earphones who are totally oblivious to traffic though and this does happen quite a lot.
Brightest Blessings.

hi.. i don't think it is a good idea to cross the road without looking. safety first. People who cross the road without looking is like chicken and cat. In Singapore, they can summon you if you cross the road not at the right place. I mean zebra crossing, or bridge to cross the road. have a nice day friend.
