Those who have already been living in the Big Apple automotive perceive signals as part of the sounds of the street. This part of new York, its symbol! Just imagine: 91% of pedestrians in new York claim that drivers signaled them, trying to get faster to cross the road in 2017.
The second number issued by the car horns became the state of Illinois – here are the signals heard 74% of pedestrians.
But if we talk about pedestrians-violators, Illinois comes in first place. 90% of the people here cross the road at pedestrian crossings, not looking around and not making the absence of danger, i.e. moving in the direction of the car. In new York such 85%.
70% of pedestrians in the Big Apple said that in addition to the beeps heard angry insults in the address from the drivers. On this indicator the second place was taken by Florida – 60% of drivers here yelling at pedestrians.
27% of drivers in new York claim that pedestrians struck at their car.
In Texas, 18% of drivers stated that pedestrians throwing any items into their moving car, but only 4% of car owners reported the incident to the police.
Well, the most interesting findings of the study – neither the drivers nor the pedestrians do not consider myself guilty, even in the most dangerous situations. Pedestrians claim that the driver is either distracted, or was speeding, and drivers claim that crossing the street not looking around, suddenly popped up, etc.
