I suppose I should have made myself clearer. It is more the parking lot (or car park) mentality. Cars in England would NEVER stop for a shopper. We had a few close calls when we first landed here with shoppers just stepping out right in front of the car. We have since learnt that that is the way here and are now willing to oblige. My husband still can't make a car stop for him though when he is walking. He says it is just WRONG! In England the vehicle is king.
