When are they going to start handing out the long service medals for posters on this thread?

Your point being?

The abject lack of consistency with your posts:

Col: "No Iv never forced a car to stop for me on a crossing."

Col: "You really must be a bit dim if you think i step out in front of moving traffic"

But then you say this:

Col: Oh i see. Because I would put a foot on a crossing to show my intentions, you say im being a hypocrit.

This brings me back to my original accusation - that you are prepared to delay and potentially annoy drivers when you are a pedestrian, but if someone has the temerity to do the same on a bike, you start frothing at the keyboard.

Don't forget the gratuitous laughing smileys.

In Col's defence, outside of commuting, he does make some good posts

"You only need to take one step onto it, you dont have to carry on walking, and one step shows them what you want to do, which most seem to stop for."

Therefore you are not waiting on them stopping to allow you to cross, but walking onto the crossing whilst traffic is still moving. Therby causing them to try & read your actions.

Your a constant source of merryment and mirth

Followed by this
"So what are you saying? Never put a foot on the crossing to let them know you want to cross because its too dangerous?"

As regards knowing what you meant to say, how can you expect anyone to know what you meant to say.

Your tripping over yourself now

I'll see your offering and raise you 195 -

195
Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing

look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross
you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing

So, the car driver should be checking that there are no pedestrians waiting to cross the road, and if they are then he should slow down or stop to let them cross.

Note that must and should have different meanings, and there are legal reasons for the specific wording.

The fact remains that a car approaching a crossing should stop if there is someone waiting to stop if they're able to safely.

See your offerring & raise you
Crossings
18
At all crossings. When using any type of crossing you should

always check that the traffic has stopped before you start to cross or push a pram onto a crossing

Therefore the onus is on the person wishing to cross, to check that it is actually safe to do so, before starting to cross.

How about everyone just looks out for the more vulnerable party/parties on the road?
