Hoodies, and their occupants, pose little fear for me. More life threatening is the scourge of mobility scooters that seem to be overwhelming our footpaths.
While I totally respect the need for disabled or elderly folk to use these vehicles to get around, their drivers seem frequently (a) incapable of controlling the devices safely and (b) to think they have a divine right which requires pedestrians to part like the Red Sea to allow privileged and unhindered access to the footpath for the scooters and their drivers. Perhaps it's the towns we've visited thus far this year are over-run by them? However, I'm pleased to have seen March out without actually suffering an injury from one of these vehicles.
