A new survey has shown the types of risks us Kiwis take while we're out and about as pedestrians on the road, and it looks like we're admitting to some pretty risky behaviours!
The Nielsen survey showed that the top risky behaviours in New Zealand in the last 6 months were the following:
- Crossed the road and had to wait in the middle of the road for traffic to clear:48%
- Crossed the road where I shouldn't have:33%
- Texted or talked on mobile while walking and bumped into someone or something:11%
- Stepped out in front of a vehicle by mistake as I didn't see it coming:10%
- Had a near miss when walking/ running past someone who was reversing:9%
- Had my music up loud on my headphones and didn't hear a car coming:6%
- Was nearly hit by a vehicle crossing a road while texting or talking on the phone:3%
