Beware1. There is a new danger on the streets, And you might not spot2 it6 until it’s too late.
Pedestrians wearing iPod or MP37 music player headphones9 have a habit of stepping14 out into the road, oblivious to traffic.
"Podestrians", as they8 have been called, now account for nearly one in ten minor accidents involving sudden braking and shunts12, according to __(I)__ from an insurance company.
Well over half of the __(II)__ are described as young people teenagers or children11.
"We10 have seen a significant increase in drivers citing3 such individuais as having been a factor in accidents," a spokesman for the company said.
The most common __(III)__ involves a "podestrian" stepping into the road without looking13 properly and failing4 to hear an oncoming15 vehicle.
This can force the driver to brake suddenly risking collision with the car behind.
And if a head full of music isn’t bad enough, some podestrians are talking16 ao their mobile phones at the same time.
"The problem of music players masking5 the noise of cars can often be compounded19 by the simultaneous use of mobile phones", the spokesman said.
"People have enjoyed listening17 to music on foot ever since the first Walkmans were introduced in the late 1970s. But 30 years on there seems to be a rising18 number of pedestrians who are isolated from traffic noise."
