Pedestrians that walk really slowly into the road!!!
Discussion
I used to deliver Chinese dinners and after a while it gets incredibly tempting not to brake for some of the dicks who saunter about the highway full of Dutch courage. The sudden look of terrified realisation that you're not stopping and the subsequent panicky stiff-legged run is a joy to the nations.
Witnessed karma in action a while back where an obnoxious pedestrian walked straight across the road expecting the car the other side of the road to stop for them, it didn't and the pedestrian had to run the rest of the way to the kerb and in the process tripped on their face and was left sprawled out on the pavement.

You ever had the chav that slows as he's crossing whilst looking at you, taunting like its a game of chicken?
One used to do it near my dads house all the time, weeks later he was seen on crutches with his leg in a pot. A car had hit him
Bless him. One used to do it near my dads house all the time, weeks later he was seen on crutches with his leg in a pot. A car had hit him
I once had a chav late one night actually run out in front of my car, holding his arms out as though he was trying to get me to stop. I swerved around him, assuming his intent was in some way sinister. The inbred probably didn't realise that, had, I been in fear of my safety, I would have mowed him down. There was not so long back around here a tale of some bloke who actually did stop, only to end up car jacked and badly beaten. Sod that for a game of soldiers!
actually lol'd

The ones in Supermarket car parks get me 
Sauntering out into the middle of the car lanes with trolley & kids without a care in the world, completely oblivious to anything outside their little bubbles...
...and if you have the sheer audacity to rev your engine slightly or sound your horn to remind them it's not a walkway...
Makes me want to fit one of these...

My sister is nightmare for doing this, esp are zerba crossings..
Her reasoning is - its my right of way and the car will stop for me....
My response - Not if someone like you is driving
The staring at drivers thing is, if the pedestrian gets hit, each time the drivers closes their eyes they will see the person they knocked down.
My view is if people are going to walk in the road for no good reason, then I'm gonna drive on the pavement.

It happened to me once, I was 'jumped' by a group of hooded kids at a quiet junction. 'Fortunately' they only landed a few punches and kicks then legged it, they didn't take my car (well, it was a sh*t old Nova after all).I once had a chav late one night actually run out in front of my car, holding his arms out as though he was trying to get me to stop.

I identified the main perp as he lived nearby, but because he was still only 16 (I was 17 at the time) but get this - The Police couldn't arrest him because he was still of an age where it might have affected his results at school, an infringement on his human rights.
Quite how stopping my car, then proceeding to see that I'm beaten up wasn't more of an infringement on my human rights, I don't know...

What's the loudest horn you can fit to your car? I would like to use something similar to what ships use in thick fog...
My Dad knew a guy at university who'd put a compressor and air-horn from a Swiss or Austrian Alpine coach in the front of a FIAT 500. It must have weighed half as much as the car itself.There are also some videos on Youtube of guys who have ships horns mounted in 4x4's.
Had someone do this to me when I was a young squaddie, carrying his Snooker que looked at me and stepped out, I had to emergency stop, I jumped out me little XR3i and beat the s
t out of him, I'm older and wiser now, I just drive at them, a set of Fiam twin tones are normally fitted to my car for this reason.

Some aren't even oblivious! At some point everybody must have come across the women who uses her child and pushchair as a battering ram? They seem to have the mentality that they have a child so they can do whatever the fSauntering out into the middle of the car lanes with trolley & kids without a care in the world, completely oblivious to anything outside their little bubbles...
k they want. In shopping centers, on pavements and sometimes when crossing the road. Just push the pushchair out and all cars will brake to let you past.Its your child you mong! "Daily mail" mentality I call it.
