[QUOTE 5226234, member: 9609"]I had an incident yesterday in Hartlepool, as a pedestrian (not as a cyclist) we were crossing a road in front of a car waiting at traffic lights, all of a sudden it sped forwards coming pretty close, I turned and started at the driver, he suddenly braked, window come down "WTF are you looking at you stupid c**t?" I asked if he was trying to run us over, he then informed me "the lights have turned to green you thick stupid f*****g c**t". I made a few comments on his driving and he threatened me before wheel spinning off. (presumably a green light must mean you can drive over any pedestrians in your way)?
some people just become completely mental when driving, its like its just all too much for their tiny little brains to cope with. best never to get involved really. Not sure if I was in that much danger with this one, he seemed so big I doubt he would have been able to get out of his car, by the size of him I was surprised he had got in it. Not big as in scary big, more super sized big with too many full-english-breakfasts. I do like Hartlepool but its as rough as a badgers .....[/QUOTE]
I get that instance even if it's green aren't you supposed to give way to pedestrians that are still crossing. Was he british but even if he wasn't i'm pretty sure all (if not most) countries your supposed to give way to pedestrians.
@Anyway most drivers are decent but i just don't see the point because as
@Drago said. If you confront them most of the time it would go wrong and in my opinion could lead into road rage or illegal stuff. You never know when a person could be armed (Like with a knife etc..) or not.
The only time i would confront a driver would be if they kept on doing it or in a emergency.
