    This morning some pedestrian stared me down as he started crossing in front of me at a leisurely pace while I approached going 45 mph with a green light. Not a single fuck given.

      Depends where you are in the world really. In the UK, that is very much a you problem, not the pedestrian’s. Not that people drive like it in some parts of the country, generally in rural areas.

        My understanding is that this is also the case (legally) in most of the US. Pedestrians have right of way.

        People sure don’t drive like it though. Too many motherfuckers doing 50 down the fire lane in front of some local shops.
