As a hardened cyclist, who generally obeys the rules, I have noticed that peds often step out infront of me, because they simply aren't looking! It's actually quite hard to do an emergency stop when cycling without throwing yourself over the handlebars! Even when I indicate I am turning left, people step out infront of me into the side road, which they would never do if I were driving a car.
I think EVERYONE, from drivers to pedestrians should make more of an effort to learn the Highway code!
LOL! And don't get me started on peds who wander into the cycle lanes!
