yield to pedestrians?
do you?
according to the GMAC Insurance Driver's Test lots of people ignore pedestrians in the crosswalks. scary. take the test, pretend you are 16 again and about to take the permit test. see if you can pass. i bet you don't. it's amazing how much we forget about the rules of the road and the specifics of the laws and guidelines that are outlined in the driver's manual... 'nuff said.
p.s. National Drivers Test - Results

i got 95% the one i got wrong was #18 about the directing drivers on some highways... eh oh well
as for pedestrians, if they seem to be attentive and looking waiting patiently, ill stop and let them go, but if they look like asses, i make sure i'm loud to get their attention and i keep going. if they dont pay attention at all, i obviously let them go, but i stare them down with an evil look, lol

In my area they are pretty strict about letting people cross in the cross walks. So yes I do stop for pedestrians.

I almost always yield, though I do hate it when they put up their arms like they control traffic. I think, I always appreciate when people are polite to me, so why not spend an extra 5 seconds and be polite to the world? Oh how I hate impolite drivers.

I always stop for pesestrians but not because of safety reasons. It just gives me another opportunity to make a lot of unnecessary noise getting back up to speed.

a few years back my friend was driving on a local side street and a kid ran out not payign attention and he got on the brakes hard and barely tapped the kid, but just enough to knock him over. well the kid went inside crying to my mom, My friend then had to go to court a few weeks later, charges got dropped it was all good, then as he was backing out of his spot at court, he wasnt lookign back and almost hit the kid again while walkign with his mom to their car. we all died laughing.
