Chanterlands Avenue accident: Hull City Council cannot enforce parking rules

“@thesnooper

I can only assume they are saying that the man who got hit had been standing between the parked cars for 2 hours prior to walking in front of the bus.

Frankly, it is a miracle that any of us are still alive. At all. Anywhere.”

“I live just round the corner and cross this road usually more than once every single day. Fortunately, having learned to cross the round some decades ago I have so far managed to cheat death on a daily basis. Similarly, when crossing the road outside the train station I have never yet been killed, as I can tell the difference between "green" and "red", which makes the whole "crossing the road without being hit by a bus" thing really easy.

There is no problem, and no risk, on Chants Ave. There are several crossing points and if you choose not to use them, that's your fault.

It's not rocket science.”

“This man was hurt because he did what five year olds are taught not to do.The accident was entirely his fault.
Not buses,cars, the markings,the length of parking time allowed,the council or anyone/thing else stupidly put forward as an excuse for simple carelessness.
What utter stupidity for someone to say "it's better to have a safe road" as if walking between parked cars without looking is safe on ANY road.
Look where you're going ,watch for VEHICLES on ROADS.pavements are safe.Stop making excuses and looking to blame somebody,anybody else. Also don't expect a rush of drivers to a particular coffee shop on this street.”

“Navarro, instead of pithy comments, why not show where I'm wrong?

The arrogance and ignorance of some car drivers is far more cause for concern than the occasional person stepping out without concentrating.”

“Now, shop owners say they fear for the safety of customers because of the problems caused by parked cars.


so if you are a driver, these shops no longer want your custom as you are creating a danger to the pedestrians please stay away from the shops on chanterlands avenue”

“Two things, firstly I agree with other comments that most accident wouldn't happen if these idiots learned to cross a road using common sense. Secondly come on HDM get off the back of motorists and the local council, they're not always to blame.”

“Since when have roads suddenly become so dangerous? Thanks for telling me and not patronising me in the slightest HDM. Correct me if I'm wrong but cars have been parked by the roadside since the first one drove off the production line and we've done nicely until about 1/2 hour ago apparently.

If you can't see a 15ft high bus then YOU'RE THE DANGER

If you don't want anyone to park conveniently then I hope you wont mind people going elsewhere for their awful tatts.”

“Never heard of pedestrian crossings or pelican crossings then? Too lazy to walk further up the avenue to cross safely?”

“"Alternative" The Retarded Troll.”

“Why have highways said this? Why has Mr Hall made himself look bad when in actual fact the accident could have been avoided by the man turning his head a bit and looking to see if there was a 14 foot tall brick hurtling towards him. Barmy!”
