All Asda depots run the driving test. Not something to be taken lightly if you want the job.
I can only remark on Asda at Portbury, it was a test carried out by a qualified instructer, BUT then they hire in agency drivers! Some of which are extremely compitent, others dont even know pedestrians have priority at zebra crossings, i am refering to our coleagues from the east.
My comment was in support of yours. I do some work in the Asda depots and they set very high standards for the new driver tests and equally so on the refreshers for current drivers. If they don't pass, they don't drive for Asda, simples.

They still use the idea where you stuck the stickers on an A4 sheet one off every cage ?
Is it still Tibbett & Britten ?

A pedestrian only has right of way once they have "claimed" the crossing. By just saying they have right of way just perpetuates this myth that they can just wander out onto the crossing and expect cars to stop on a sixpence as they have right of way.
Far fewer know that a pedestrian has right of way if they have started to cross safely on any section of road that they are allowed to cross, but have now slowed oncoming traffic. Old grannies etc crossing the road are susceptible to this.

I have just heard on the radio that a HGV has come of a road above the M56 and fallen onto the motorway below.
Knowing that motorway particularly well I am dreading to hear any further news about the incident.

Me and 70 odd other drivers got made redundant back in 2005, but yes we still used the stickers, Lowfield were the original i think they were followed by T&B then it was taken inhouse at the turn of the century.
The way i understand it (without looking at a highway code) when i approach a zebra crossing my foot is off the throttle already as i expect a child or granny or even a dog to step out, so yes if need be i can stop, maybe not on a sixpence but not far off.
Its all about knowing what is happening around you, not just watching the car in front.
but what i was getting at are the foreign drivers that dont know how a zebra crossing should funtion.
Yes
