How come you can stop for an amber light but not a pedestrian?

Because amber lights don't just jump out at you, they give you adequate time to stop

No wonder you get scared on the motorway..
If I just call it magic will that help?

No, because this is side-stepping my question about the pointless claim you made that traffic lights somehow give you a warning before they change.

The amber light *is* the warning.

Don't be an amber gambler, Kroney.

You stop at the Amber if it is safe to do so
i.e. if you are only 20 yards from it when it changes, you go through.

So people stepping in front of a moving vehicle, because they are too busy
fucking around on a mobile phone, is going to be the drivers fault if the get hit right?

depends really
if the driver was also on his phone, or was going too quick or something then he's fucked even if the peestrian was a stupid cunt. But if they were driving normally at 25mph then it's just an accident and nothing happens.

Or approaching a junction without being prepared to stop.
