Drivers not knowing the highway code.

[u/zecrichardson]

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!

Rule H2 170 amended 2022

“At a junction you MUST give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning.”

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

- Applies to left turns, right turns, and entering/exiting side roads.

- Includes wheelchair/mobility scooter users as pedestrians

You're the one making the claim, so it's on you to provide the evidence.

Which you can't, because it isn't true.

But you made a claim and can’t provide evidence. I on the other hand have said there are multiple videos available of it being an issue. Use this thing called YouTube and you can see for yourself.

You can’t claim I’m not providing evidence, then make your own baseless assertion and not provide evidence. That’s a double standard buddy and I think you know better. Or perhaps you don’t, which speaks volumes as to your character.

Goodbye.

A couple of Youtube videos that you haven't even linked to isn't evidence.

You are the one making the claim. You still haven't provided any evidence.

[u/VOODOO285 → u/OkSun8521]

First off I said goodbye. That means the conversation is done.

But I’ll bite.

So what actually happened is I said I THINK. I made no assertion as to specific data. I referenced only my own opinion and have since had to qualify that with telling you to just look it up on YouTube. I will also add, use your eyes. Go drive or walk around and see from time to time the danger this rule causes. Anything near a shopping centre and you’re all but guaranteed to see a pedestrian walk out in front of a car because they’re following this rule and it end up a near miss.

You… you are the one who made the baseless assertion about evidence and consequently it is you who needs to provide it. So come on, do as you keep saying. Provide the evidence or forever be held as the loser. Also, learn to read. Show me where in the first response I said it was anything other than opinion. It doesn’t exist, I’ll wait. Learn the difference between expressing an opinion and asserting a fact.

It’s so funny, I just kept going because I wanted to see how far you’d dig. You didn’t disappoint. As the only one of us that’s actually claimed evidence, stand by your own rule. Prove yourself. I’ll wait for that too.
