This is the message of an old campaign for the #securityRoadway in #UK. It sounds ridiculous, if only the same message (maybe a bit watered down), was not used for road safety campaigns nowadays.

@phed @lgsp If you're driving and the environment including the presence of other road users is making you feel uncomfortable, slowing down should help.
Also, you do know that at a crossing without a light, you have to stop for pedestrians, right? They stand on the edge of the curb to let you know they want to cross. If they stand back out of the way, they might never get to cross until a really kind driver comes along and there aren't many of those these days.
