    There was someone trying to cross the crosswalk the other day, so I stopped (as the law dictates). 30 seconds of every other motorist in the other lane not yielding later I eventually just gave up and drove away. Legend says that they’re still trying to cross the road to this day.

      I stopped at a crosswalk once and the pedestrian waved me on lol. Like c’mon… you can cross, I have all day.

      This mostly doesn’t happen in Australia. Zebra crossing means stop. A lot of pedestrians won’t even check, they just walk onto the road on a crossing.

        When I’m late or in a hurry, sometimes that’s my response to crosswalks. I get honked at and yelled at a lot, but almost everyone stops because no one wants the liability of running over a pedestrian.
