Crossing the road without looking
Discussion
Why is it that morons cross the road without looking, or even worse see you heading in their direction and cross anyway? Whilst anyone with two brain cells and a reasonable judgement of distance/speed knows the gap isn't large enough!! And that if they step out the car will have to slow down.
I have noticed this appears to be worse with ‘chavs’ and drunk individuals or people who just don’t give a f
k. Never had an incident to date with a suit or other respectable individual of society.
What do you guys usually do? Continue at normal speed or accelerate up to the speed limit? Brake?

About a month ago I saw a school girl randomly bolt into the road without looking, came with in a few inches of being hit. Must have scared the st out of the driver that was observably well awake at the time, when I think about it I don't imagine some of the less capable drivers I know could have avoided that accident or reacted fast enough.
Girl blamed her friends for chasing her - moron.
Something else happens immediately after that was interesting - a stty barryboyed Vectra sped past well above the speed limit and a lady nearby said something to the effect 'look at that speeding, how dangerous tut tut what if the girl had jumped out now' but the thing is had the noisy (sty) Vectra replaced the well driven quite car she probably would have heard it coming and not gone into the road in the first place.

Because they know you'll stop.
Irritates the hell out of me because despite anything you do to try and teach them a lesson, they know, and so do you, that you'll stop.
Yup, its an arrogant attitude that really irks me. The "sport" is seeing how close you can get to them, that usually gives them a suprise!Irritates the hell out of me because despite anything you do to try and teach them a lesson, they know, and so do you, that you'll stop.
