Yes I can be the only person on a wide pavement and I still have someone walking directly towards me

It's not just me then, often I say under my breath "don't walk into me, don't..." but they still do, cue to dodge the wrong way.

I get to deal with 6* users on a regular basis

The totally ignorant people, who try to walk through the wheelchair my spouse is sat in.

When she first had to use a wheelchair, I'd dodge out of their way. Considering at that time she was over 26st, in a over sized wheelchair, that caused me issues with my back.

Over the years, despite my spouse loosing over 13st, I learnt not to Kow Tow to these ignorant people. And either they show my spouse respect, or I'm going through them.

I give other pedestrians respect, and do not expect to have a right of way, way pushing my spouse. But in return, I expect them to show respect in return.

Amazingly it is teenagers and young adults, who tend to show the most respect, with those in the middle age grouping, who are the ones, intent on walking through the wheelchair and my spouse.

this is a bit flippant I know, but 5 people were killed last year by bikes on pavements.Here in London cyclists are being killed at the rate of one a month by HGV's.On any day one can see lorry drivers on the phone, but do you think this is a priority for the police? I'm afraid not.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I think teenagers get a really bad rap in this country. They're relentlessly demonised by the media and sections of the public alike. Yet, speak to anyone who has regular contact with youngsters and it's a different story.

I take my Mum on the bus and we can be at the front of the queue and people break their necks to barge in front of us then sit in the wheelchair area

Had that one too zivadog! Not all our buses have wheelchair ramps but the regular drivers are getting wise and dealing with the wheelchair user first - you should hear all the rude remarks!

Although I stopped taking Mum down Main Street during the visitor season (unless by taxi and we now haven't got one that takes folks who have to stay in their wheelchair)I can agree with davep - respect all round and we'd get on a load better.

And lambchop - not facetious. The reason mum is in a wheelchair is because of a cyclist riding on the pavement. He shouted at an elderly lady mid-80s to get out of his way and she didn't react so he chose to hit her rather than the lamp-post set in the edge of the pavement. And he picked himself up after the collision and rode off. I know it isn't the proper thing to say but I would like him to find out one day the pain and indignities my mum goes through daily - and that impinges on the entire family caring for her.
