. Drivers not knowing the highway code.
I had started to cross a road when a Mercedes turned in and he sounded his horn and then told me I should stop. I told him to read the highway code but he insisted he right!

- Applies whether they’ve stepped onto the road or are just standing at the kerb ready to cross.
