PAVERANT

Pavements, at one time a route for pedestrians so that they felt safe from the threat of the automated vehicle.

A place where young and old could stroll freely and not be in any danger just as long as they didn’t stray too close to the edge of the kerb.

But no longer is that the case for due to worries for their poor cars tough outer shell apparently now the safest place for some motors to be is right there with us on the footpath .

No matter kids on their way to school and parents with buggies are forced to re-route onto the busy road as there’s not enough room for them to squeeze by on the safe side of your pride and joy because all that’s really important is not having to claim on your insurance for troublesome car maintenance isn’t it ?

After all a new wing mirror is so much more expensive than a human life?
