I'm afraid she said nothing of the kind.

She merely said that her "study" (watching a paltry 1,000 people cross the road at rush hour, on the way to work, when people are most distracted, anyway) concluded that only one in four people "followed the green cross code" to the letter.

There are lots of "might"s and "may"s in her report, but no evidence that accidents have been caused by people texting whilst crossing at a legal time.

The whole thing is utter bollocks.

Who's making money from it? That's the question to ask.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
