The Highway Code states that you should take extra care at junctions and watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so GIVE WAY.
Interesting that you start the video, with the woman 2/3's the way cross your oncoming lane [your opposite lane], you conveniently left-out where she started walking in the road, more likely showing her looking for on-coming traffic, and you are already bashing her, and then you give her a 'very cleaver' comment. Weren't you supposed to stop at the line, anyway, which worked-out for everyone involved?
Same problem here in the USA, its really bad in my city the pedestrians think they own the fucking roads here. They seem to be encouraged to not look for some reason. Maybe they need to paint words in the road way for pedestrians "Caution if you don't look you will get hit! Dumbass!
She did look. Perhaps you should be more respectful to vulnerable road users. The reason why kids don't play in the street anymore is the attitude of drivers like you in the UK who think everyone should get out of their way. If you're driving in a residential area, you should respect the people who live there, and act with patience and courtesy rather than abusing them.
She has the right of way dumbass, and she looked right at you saw you slow down then she kept walking. So it's not a video of a bitch not lookin before she crossed the street, it's a video of you bein a ass to a old lady crossin the street. this should go under the catagory of stupid drivers.
@damono7 You might want to try reading the highway code old boy, it doesnt matter that you've been driving for 20 years, you haven't got a clue what you're doing. Rule 207: Particularly vulnerable pedestrians. These include -older pedestrians who may need more time to cross the road. Be patient and allow them to cross in their own time. Do not hurry them by revving your engine or EDGING FORWARD.
SHE is in YOUR way! Hahahaha! She is in the crosswalk. Oh, sorry. I forgot ALL pedestrians should stay out of YOUR way, after all, the world does revolve around YOU.
You ought to be ashamed. The poor woman even took the time to THANK you, more than once.
That you would have the audacity to post a video with you being so rude and egotistical. Shame shame shame...
ITS TRUE THAT PEDESTRIANS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY THE DMV BOOK SAYS SO,BUT SOMETIMES YOU DO HAVE DUMB ASS PEDESTRIANS THAT WALK OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE THINKING ITS OK WHEN THEY CAN GET HIT BY A RECKLESS DRIVER WHOS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. WHAT MAKE IT SO BAD IS THEY ARE LOOKING ANOTHER WAY WHILE GETTING READY TO CROSS INSTEAD OF KEEPING THEIR EYES ON THE PERSON BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE CAR. not everyone are careful drivers so i think pedestrians should learn to look before proceeding.
In many places pedestrians have the right of way over cars. However, this does not mean it's okay for pedestrians to cross whenever and wherever they like! Ignore a crosswalk or a traffic or pedestrian signal, and you could be ticketed for jaywalking (in the US). But worse than that, you could get hit by a car! Watch where you're going! Same goes for drivers, watch for pedestrians, even if they're just asking for it... you don't want to hit one, really.
1) The car in the video DOES slow, and DOES allow her to cross safely.
2) Whoever is responsible for any accident, it wouldnt be much of a concilation to a pedestrian squashed under the wheels of a car, or flung over a bonnet. "Dont worry mate, you're almost dead, but it's ok, because it's the drivers fault."
Best advice - Dont walk out in front of a car. It could be painful, whoever is legally at fault. duh!
It is YOUR responsibility to STOP for pedestrians. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way on ALL roads. Pedestrians are allowed to cross the road at any intersection - YOU are REQUIRED BY LAW to stop. What makes you think someone can't cross the road you're on?
Are you actually suggesting it is ok for someone to walk out in front of a car in any situation? So if a pedestrian walks out onto a 50mph limit road, a few feet in front of a car travelling at 50mph, and the car hits them, then its the drivers fault? Get real mate. Just to add, the law in Canada may not be the same as here in the UK. Maybe there you can step in front of a car and then blame the driver...
Are you suggesting the car must be stopped before anyone can cross the road? So if I see a car a mile away then I can't walk across the street. Obviously she thought you were far enough away to notice her and cross the street safely. When are driver EVER kind enough to acually stop to let a pedestrian cross? People with cars are more important than people who walk, right?
No, thats not the case. Everything you just said can be reversed. If u see a car a mile away, u can obviously cross. If it is a few metres away, crossing is dumb. Obvious!
You are a knobhead. She actually put her hand up to thank you for slowing down to let her cross; it's because of pricks like you that I wish we didn't live in such a car-dominated society. Bear in mind if you ever hit someone in that situation, at best expect to lose your no-claims and watch your insurance premium rocket, at worst, a lengthy ban and even prison time!
Darren... get a life... The car is slowing for the junction, and the woman just walks out, and did NOT look before doing so. Drivers AND pedestrians have a responsibility to use roads correctly.
I have a life, thank you, and a car that I drive carefully; your vid does not prove that she didn't look before crossing... furthermore, even if she wasn't the onus is still with the motor vehicle driver to account for the sometimes unpredictable behaviour of pedestrians who don't have a steel sheel around them; we can't expect older (and v.young) people never to venture out near roads; what a sad world if they were prevented from going out thanks to ignorant car drivers!
The onus is still on the car driver.... YES, and the car easily slowed and stopped... but she still should LOOK and not walk out when a car is coming. Its common sense. The video doesnt prove she didnt look... but i was there, and trust me, she didnt look.
Of course they should look, but you don't need to have a licence to be a pedestrian! We car drivers are greatly privileged in having something that gets us from A to B relatively very quickly (unless you live in London) and without looking up public transport timetables or strenuous effort etc. With that comes a moral and legal duty to look out for others less qualified in road safety. End of.
The fact remains, if someone walks out without looking (and a witness verifies this) and the car is travelling at or below the speed limit, the driver is NOT responsible for the accident... Thats the end of it.
you were far enough away from her for her to have begun crossing. She has the right of way here. while you may have been inconvenienced consider that she is obeying the law, getting exercise, and feeling good. you on the other hand are just getting frustrated over some random lady crossing the street.
which rediculas country do u live in were pedestrians have the right of way ? lol, do u even drive, maybe ill try n walk across the m1 tommorow, c how many cars stop for me!!! TIT
England or not. I still see crosswalk markings painted on the road.. Do you people just paint them on the road for fun?

Well, if you know pedestrians are around, you shouldn't be driving 50mph anyway.

Is 50 mph the minimum limit or maximum limit for this roadway? If the latter, then a "limit" is just that, not a minimum speed suggestion.
