Brick Lane made Britain's first 'Safe Text' street with padded lampposts to prevent mobile phone injuries
...they can't, like, turn off the stupid fucking phone? Do we need to put padding on other pedestrians that they bump into and then glare at for getting in their way?
Britain's first 'Safe Text' street has been created complete with padded lampposts to protect millions of mobile phone users from getting hurt in street accidents while walking and texting.
Around one in ten careless Brits has suffered a "walk 'n text" street injury in the past year through collisions with lampposts, bins and other pedestrians.
The 6.6million accidents have caused injuries ranging from mild knocks and embarrassing cuts and bruises through to broken noses, cheekbones and even a fractured skull.
