Yes people do bump into one another by accident, that happens but my post was about people that were texting and so it could be prevented if they made an effort to lift their heads from their phones for a few seconds to walk down the street, then things like this wouldnt have to be brought into place, I don't know about anyone else here but I was always taught to look were I was going when I was walking down the street.
What about the laws regarding texting or speaking on a mobile while driving then do you think thats petty too or do you think that deserves to be punished?
And before it gets said yeah I know thats a different scenario but someone could still get hurt if one of these people bump into an elderly man or woman and knock them to the ground.
