Checked the Highway Code, just to see what the score is because I'm heartily sick of peds looking straight at me then stepping off the pavement anyway.
The Code states "always check that the traffic has stopped before you start to cross or push a pram onto a crossing" which makes sense, and is helpfully aimed at the kind of chav scum that think they can use their malnourished bastard mewling brat offspring to bring traffic to a halt
It then goes on to say "Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing."
Which looks kinda contradictory to me.
