you took that right out of context Mark. I was talking about walking

'keep death off the roads, drive on the pavement' is a national axiom

speed restriction signs are strictly adhered too, but they are taken
to mean 'do not go slower than twice this speed and never mind the
fog'

Since we do not have sidewalks (pavements) in our subdivision, Puppy
has learned to keep to the left on whatever hardsurface upon which she
finds herself. This creates a problem when we go outside the
neighbourhood and encounter high speed two wheelers who, in an effort
to take evasive action and do an undignified ass-flop almost on top of
her. Now she tries to jump up to my shoulder whenever she spots a
bicycle.
Another question has come up - does a cyclist have to obey "all way"
stops while riding flat out on the sidewalk? or can he execute the
"right turn, U turn, right turn" manoeuver?
