This is absolutely true.
Only this morning one screamed at pedestrians "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!" as he sped through a red light, only to stop short behind a 'bus 20 yards further up.

I commute on a bike but obey all the rules of the road as if I were a motorcycle or car.
I cannot speak for the rest of the twats I pass on the way in who do things like this.

I have however shouted at pedestrians who look up the road to cross see a bike and cross anyway, I have on several occasions needed to swerve to avoid them and will generally stop and inform them that I was going 35mph and it would have fucking hurt them if I had hit them. They still seem to think I am in the wrong. If I was a car they would have stayed put.

I think it's only on a motorway where a pedestrian doesn't have right of way, whatever the traffic signals.
Technically speaking, of course.

My lil bro
When he was even littler used to love a bbc micro game that taught how to cross the road.

He'd wait until the green "cross the road" sign lit up and start hitting space to make his little man cross the road, but stop when he got to the middle and giggle manically as the light went red and the cars all started beeping but refused to move or pass him.

"started hitting space to make his little man cross"
It's amazing what one does as a kid, isn't it?
