The following image popped up in my feed earlier today and I am dumbfounded by what people feel is ok to do to get a perfect (Instagram?) picture.
Answer: Common sense and a working brain
This looks like it is an active road, as you can see cars in the background and there are cars driving towards them. They are lying down on a zebra crossing, in the rain which will make it difficult for drivers to stop the car quickly. Plus since no one expects idiots to be lying down on the road there is a good chance that someone who is not paying attention or is momentarily distracted can run them over and in this pose it is almost impossible for these two to get out of the way fast if a car is about to run them down.
I have taken a few sitting on the road photos over the years, but we ensured that the roads were empty and we could see for a fair distance so that we could get out of the way if there was oncoming traffic.
Come on folks, is taking a great pic really worth dying for? Or do you want to be remembered as the idiots who got run over when taking an Instagram pic? Please stop this idiotic behavior.
