No, the topic isn't filtered
. We've all seen people doing it, perhaps you've done it yourself, walking around blissfully unaware of your surroundings due to being immersed in social media on a smartphone. Firstly, to anyone who does this,STOP IT, it's bloody ignorant and rude
. Apparently authorities in Belgium consider text walkers to be such a problem for other pedestrians, that they have now introduced specially designated 'text walking' lanes on certain footpaths in both Brussels and Antwerp
.
Personally, I think they should just give police the right to shoot anyone spotted doing it on sight.

I saw a BBC News report that a mobile phone dealer convinced a Belgian city to provide a texting while walking lane.

Having said all that, I did see one text walker who walked straight into a lamp post, which was quite funny but generally it's just bloody annoying. Especially as most of them seem to think it's upto you to get out of their way.
