Pedestrians against motorists

As stated in the rules of the road, the car - a vehicle of high risk. But many motorists, becoming the owner of an iron horse, quickly forget about it. The result is a "quiet war" between them and the pedestrians. Where the interests of both? Who is right and who is to blame? And most importantly - what to do? Answers to these questions are pretty vague, everyone has their own truth. My house - my fortress. Cars in the yard is becoming more and parking lots is not added. Rather, even declining - demolish garages and shells, instead of promising to build large parking complexes, but their construction is delayed, and the space there is no longer accrue to those who lost the roof over the head of his car. That has forced car owners to car yard - someone on the sidewalk, someone on the playground, someone on the lawn. Are enterprising and comrades that shield "their" parking space in the bars and chain, but usually this initiative is liquidated furious neighbors - places in the yard for all. Motorists even own asphalt lawns, not to listen to complaints from neighbors that the children have nowhere to play and that at this makeshift parking lot should be a playground. The arguments of one side - where do we put the car yards are not calculated on a number of parking spaces, and the other - because machines have no place for children to play. Get to the subway at the foot of people became a problem. Tube from the area in the mornings and from the center of the evening slow movement and public transport. Dominance of taxis and private traders creates difficulties in travel by subway, since this whole company takes two or even three rows. For some even get to the bus stop has become a problem - if the road to it is not loaded jam, then the machines are worn with great speed. A "speed bumps installed until all sections of the road where the signs hang, requiring a slower ride (residential zone, caution, children and the speed limit). Although pedestrians and themselves sometimes create an impediment to progress machines - too lazy to go to a pedestrian crossing, where they have priority, run through the middle of the road, not looking around, waiting for the signal allowing traffic on the roadway. Arguments motorists - well, that he is hard to miss something? Arguments pedestrians - if he will knock me, you will pay, and no matter what I am to blame. There in the yards and around residential areas, the abandoned car. They almost never leave their seats, and some even by the masters of all. Throw away - sorry, but put somewhere right. The more so for recycling machines to fill in any document it's official. In addition to the aesthetic aspects of the problem (abandoned cars rusting away, they pierce the wheel, it is opened, they close the spectacular views), people can not see what is happening on the roadway because of these machines, they take part of the band than obstruct the movement of other vehicles. Unfortunately, the law is very difficult to remove such vehicles. Repeatedly there have been instances when residents overthrown in tow, who drove the car would have thrown in a landfill, but the hosts suddenly awakened love for her, and with blood promises to restore and sell, they fought off their rusty miracle. Jams in the mornings became a part of life for all who live in big cities or in cities with narrow streets. Someone goes on the route, heroically defending the long minutes, and then watches in traffic, and someone chooses different paths to at least a few minutes to cut the trip. Residential areas located near major highways and streets, which are constantly going to the queue of cars seemed to motorists a great place for free and a shorter journey to the target. Sometimes they go to the sign prohibiting travel to those who do not live and work in this area - so that sometimes in places you can meet cops. The trouble is the residents that came out of the porch in the morning, they can see the cork, and some may just sit in the minibus, which also shortens the road to the next stop. Parked cars in the yards at risk of being scratched a passing offenders going into kindergarten and school children are in danger. Sometimes residents are especially do not miss it, go slowly along the narrow road, but they can get to desperate drivers - those slightly pushing their bumper, they say, let's miss! In some areas, council solve this problem radically - partition off a through passage with concrete blocks. However, this measure is taken at your own risk, as for the fire service, police and ambulance services should be through travel, or they can drive up to the place of the wrong side and lose a few minutes to travel to another province. Arguments drivers - where I want, I go out there and the yard - total area. Arguments pedestrians - a patrol here, gassy all go quietly do not give. Particularly impatient drivers stuck in traffic jams are solved by explicit violation - go to the oncoming traffic to overtake everyone and drive a wedge in front of traffic lights. Drivers of SUVs or cars with a rather big clearance pass on the lawns with a parallel or adjacent roads to major streets, not to wait to miss all the traveling ahead of him. Travel and on sidewalks, scattering the cyclists, pedestrians, overtaking parked cars. Go on the road opposite direction in reverse (not prohibited by the rules), and even on sidewalks to counter the road, as there are traffic cops are rare. Drivers will use any loopholes to reduce their path. It is a pity that these "pundits" do not realize that when the wedge in front of someone, then because it gets the entire band. On the same machine takes a few seconds, but these offenders recruited decent enough for a decent jam. The dispute between drivers and pedestrians is similar to the problems between physicists and the lyrics - every human in his own way, everyone does not want to give, each sufficient argument in its favor. Complaining about how much others can be anything, but the wisest conclusion - we should start with yourself.
