Had to walk across a 1 lane (either way) main road, well signposted with a pedestrian crossing. I walk one way, go to walk across and the car slows down at a distance away where you would expect the car to stop. I go to walk, and he floors it. Wasn't even a hotted up commodore or anything, just a small car.
So I step back and he thunders past I go to walk again and a transperth bus hammers across in my face. And the car after it.
Cross, go to shop, come back.
Mitsubishi on the other side stops, but this woman on her phone in a holden equinox is still clearly going to run me over the other way.
So as she goes over a pedestrian crossing at about 55kph (still hasn't looked up from phone in 25+ metres) I reach out and smash my hand onto the side of the car and yell after her
"You missed me you b***h!"
Of course that nearly backfired as she just about ran off the road.
Drive home, a triton ute blasts through a 4 way intersection at 80 in a 50 zone (his side has the stop signs), watch a mercedes s class (though only divine intervention or automatic braking) avoid a 70+kmh (60 zone) rear end collision with a mini that I had identified as stationary and waiting to turn right a good 100m before.
Plus there are curbside collections on - the number of people who think it is fine to either: Stop in the middle of the road and get out drive at 5kph and not let you past or have so little spacial awareness that they hit the skids and either try to reverse into you or do a U turn
Astounds me
Edit, forgot the learner driver at 8am kamikazing across three lanes of traffic to make a right arrow to do an illegal U turn.
As an aside, I obviously pay too much attention to the road as I drove past the below sign for the last two weeks and only just actually read it today
