Brick Lane made Britain's first 'Safe Text' street with padded lampposts to prevent mobile phone injuries

Britain's first 'Safe Text' street has been created complete with padded lampposts to protect millions of mobile phone users from getting hurt in street accidents while walking and texting.

Around one in ten careless Brits has suffered a "walk 'n text" street injury in the past year through collisions with lampposts, bins and other pedestrians.

The 6.6million accidents have caused injuries ranging from mild knocks and embarrassing cuts and bruises through to broken noses, cheekbones and even a fractured skull.

Frankly I think people should be fined for texting while walking - the number of times I've been bumped into by people not looking where there going it just silly! Dangerous walking should be a finable offence!!

I can't text and walk. I don't like to, if i'm walking I want to be looking where I'm going!

If I'm get a text I move to the side of the pavement and lean against the wall (if there is one) and text there. Out of harms way
