I think you should be prosecuted for walking on the wrong side of the road (where there is no pavement - or sidewalk) I think it states in the highway code that pedestrians should walk FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, which makes perfect sense and which I always do - you have two senses to rely on then - sight and sound.
But I think they should add that if walking on the road - pavement or not - with a child/children, you should (in addition to walking on the right) ensure that the child/children are on the inside.
2 more people would be alive in this village alone if these things were law and they were enforced.
