We live in a residential area with loads of kids, primary schools etc. In order to go anywhere, we have to walk pass the main A road, which has rows of houses on each side. The houses are separated from the road by the pavement and then an area of grass. There are high hedges separating all the driveway so people driving out to the road are blind.
We have had repeated issues with the "the mad reversing lady", and I'm wondering how many of you will think we are in the wrong.
This morning we were walking on the pavement (yellow arrow), my husband with the baby in the pushchair and me walking just behind with our toddler. She (red rectangle) reversed out of her driveway into my husband and the pushchair. Luckily I saw her moving on time to warn my husband, we were expecting her to stop but no she kept going until I waved my arms shouting.
We got really mad at her because it's not the first time she does that, a few times in the past she reversed at high speed on the pavement just in front of us. She seems to either be expecting pedestrians to stop for her, or she has a quick look in her mirror and if there is no one on the pavement she speeds for the road.
She opened her window and we couldn't hear her, but she was shouting and making signs telling us we were in the wrong. She seemed to say should have thought about her being blind, and so shouldn't have not be walking behind her car (mind you in this situation, we were already there!). We are of course mindful that car might come out of the driveways, but we expect them to go slowly and to stop to let us pass as we have priority on the pavement. AIBU?
