Walking home from school tonight with DD (9) I was crossing a side road and a car turned in from the main road. The driver seemed to expect me to stop in the middle of the road to wait for her to go past. When I didn't she started screaming at me and gesturing. I shouted back at her that pedestrians have priority but she was too busy ranting.
The same thing happened a couple of weeks ago on a different side road.
Both women drivers and both times they weren't in sight when I started to cross.
I'm a driver, and well aware of the instruction in the Highway code to watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way., which I always do.
Bad enough that they aren't aware of the Highway code, without having a go as well. I do wonder how many people have actually passed their test TBH.
