Have you ever been crossing the road when someone in their car...?

revs the engine causing you to scuttle across the road like an idiot?
Don't you just feel immensely stupid after this?

Can't say I have, however I was sent a film clip of an old lady crossing a road at a T junction. A bloke in a car got irritated at the time it was taking for her to get across and started reving his engine and tooting his horn. She just turned round and wacked the front of his car with her shopping bag which set off the airbag in his steering wheel. The look on the bloke's face was priceless. The old girl just carried on walking as though nothing had happened. lol.

If anyone revs the car engine at me while I'm crossing the road or walking down the side of a narrow road, I go even slower.

i never rev the engine when someones crossing, i accelerate as quietly as possible as to give me a better chance of hitting some slow idiot who is crossing where he/she shouldn't be.

if its at a proper crossing i let them live


olliewobbles
yes-your right...however did you realise that it is illegal to use your engine to intimidate pedestrians!


muggle

Nope................

This will never change. We can only hope that, when they crash (and they will), they won't take any other drivers with them.

I think a good answer to this is here :-)

Those of us walking should be thinking about our own AS5ES and get the hell out of the way. We shouldn't be taking our sweet F'en time strolling across the street. Who's to say that somebody won't run a person over by accident? Be smart and courteous by getting the "F" across the dang street quickly. Doing this keeps us pedestrians safe and lets the drivers be on their way. Those of you who disagree should try getting run over because you dragged your feet unnecessarily or even intentionally.

I'm the type that crosses roads, streets, walkways, etc... and jus' looking both ways and being cautious enough to the point where if I got hit by a car, I'd get a nice check out of it it, cause it wouldn't be my fault. haha

If they start revving their engine, just walk slower. It specifically states in the highway code that drivers must not intimidate pedestrians by revving their engines.
