    Nothing more fun than making the pedestrians run.

    They arrogantly step out as you get a green, long after they had their phase. I see how quickly I can get to the other side of the intersection, and, as a byproduct of the process, they also start their own race to exit the intersection

I was telling the misses this while we were driving around, not more than 30mins later some clown just walks out in front of us


    How sweet of you Graham
    lol, reminds me of the tool that walked in front of my 7 ton truck (when enmpty) while i was doing 20 in a car park, put his hand up telling me to stop so he could walk in front of me. Idiot.

    Crikey, lucky there wasn't a cop chasing him - he might have been run over!!

    I tend to agree...no harm done (in a controlled manner of course)

    Weirdly enough I think ped's are more scared of a biker, must be the image thing
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
