My Observations: Usually, the reason why people do things that they know they should not is because it is somehow easier for them (faster, more convenient, or they have always done it that way and have not had a bad outcome - yet), then there are some who don't realize there is a sidewalk at all.
We all need to learn to take our time, and take the safer option when one exists (life is not a race, it is a trip)... . and I suppose we need to allow for others who do not choose that option. Maybe we could stop and talk to those we see in harms way. We could express our sincere concern for their safety and wellbeing, then follow with a POLITE suggestion about the safer alternative to their current actions. We can take the higher road, and make more friends in the process.. just a thought.
Yes, I was a Boy Scout growing up... then a Scout Leader.
Have a safe day.
