Do you give way to pedestrians crossing the road that you're turning into?

See poll.

I gave way to 3 pedestrians today as I was turning left. The two blokes thanked me and crossed, but the woman stayed where she was I waved my hand to say 'carry on' (I know you're not supposed to do that but still), and she gave me a very scared, in fact petrified look, shook her head as if to say 'no', and pointed to the car that was behind me What the hell did she think the driver was gonna do, run me over and then run her over too?

I find it quite sad that some people care less about their rights than the fact that they are holding a car driver up. Some people clearly see car drivers as more important than themselves (and in this case more important than me who was willing to stop and let them cross in front of me)

I shout in advance of the left turn which mostly does the trick.

yep ditto maybe a whistle... just so they turn theyre head for a look.

I give way unless there's a mad cunt driving a large vehicle behind me, in which case I do MA3K's shouting thing (whilst signalling to the driver that I'm slowing/turning), and take a gamble on whether to aim behind or in front of the ped.

Dont peds have right of way if they are showing signs of crossing, or is my knowledge of the road laws miniscule.

a little rule of thumb i try to ride by... i dont want to hit anything.

I usualy give them the finger as well.

... or be hit by anything.

Or be hit by anything that has been hit by something, whilst hitting something.

tru.

Actually i plough though as many peds as i can when getting from a to b... just cos i can.

If i dont offend/ piss someone off as theyre trying to cross the road my day ends up to shit. I like A to hit them B to shout really horrible things about their life...

Or be run over, thats no fun either.

I give high-fives to people hailing cabs or buses.

vehicles, and that includes bicycles, turning into a road must give way to pedestrians crossing it.
So yes, I do. even if it wasn't the law, it's just polite.

Of course, the definition of giving way might not necessarily mean waiting for them to get to the other side - just passing behind them is sufficient on a bike, though on a motorcycle I usually give them more time and space so I don't frighten the life out of them as I rev the motor.

@ tom - ha. and smoking at the same time?

If you mount the curb it becomes a mute point.
