Why idiots dont think when they a run red light??

i was walking home today and stepped onto a busy road when the green man appeared only to turn and hear a bloke driving a red peugeot harsh braking, screaching tyres, burnt rubber smell stop close to me and give me grief, when he is the one who is wrong.
i nearly got killed, he only stopped less than a metre next to me and didnt even apologise, kept shouting at me and calling me names telling me i was blind, im only 27 and i dnt want to die yet

The first rule of the road is that every driver is a prat. Think that all the time and it helps. Yes, one should always look around even if one has the right of way (either as a pedestrian or a motorist) but this is because there's always some idiot about to do something stupid. I drive around 20,000 miles a year and I know I've done some stupid things. But I do try and apologise when I've fouled up, like forgetting to cancel an indicator or whatever. Be pleased he did stop and think of how much he's worn out his tyres and brakes by his actions...may give you some feel good factor!

Idiots, I think you shoul be able to take down someones licence number and give it to the Driving people (DSA is it?) so they can find who owns the car and retest them every time they get reported, that might stop them.

Yes its rather annoying the way some people turn into prats when they get behind the wheel. There's a general culture amongst drivers in Britain that the rules of the road are optional - red lights, speeding, parking etc.

PS bev is being too forgiving. Its most likely he speeded up to beat the red light.

My mother taught me to look both ways before crossing the street, No matter what the signal says, trust your eyes. He was wrong if he ran a red light, you were wrong to walk in front of a moving vehicle.
