British adults ignoring the green cross code

A new poll has found that adults in Britain are increasingly ignoring the advice to “stop, look and listen” when crossing the road and are instead just stepping out.

The survey, from Sheilas’ Wheels, questioned 1,000 adults and found that almost half do not stop before crossing the road while a quarter do not even look both ways. The figures also revealed that nearly all admitted to crossing between vehicles that had stopped while 86% confessed to crossing the road halfway when only one side was clear.

The survey, which named Londoners as the most dangerous pedestrians, found that a large percentage of people were distracted while crossing the road due to talking on their mobile phone, texting, listening to music and some even reading a book or newspaper.

Winston Solicitors handled our recent house purchase and sale and provided an excellent service throughout. Sidraa Razaq, supported by Tom McIlroy, exhibited an outstanding professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness from te moment we first made contact, all of which made what was at times a less than straightforward transaction much easier to navigate. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.
