Fractures are hard to shrug off - you'd need several weeks in plaster at least!



...And that's if you're young and healthy. One gentleman I know is awaiting a 4th operation on his smashed hand after sliding on a icy path in December. This group is not about one group being prioritised over the other but urging some thought for those of us who are not road users but walk alongside them or who need to to get on public transport.

Thank you for your opinion though, and I hope you make it to work all ok.
