Instructors are right to make the point about not waving people on and making them rush without thinking, but knowing this, and why, also includes being aware of how you let people go and when it is safe or not to do so or not. Probably in your instance, if I can picture it, I would have just...

Yep waving someone over implies that you have seen that the road is clear for them and if they go now they will be fine without looking themselves. At a junction like this one I would hold back from the car in front leaving space. Make eye contact with the pedestrian, and if they are paying...

Apart from being courteous it makes common sense to do this. To stop a pedestrian from crossing, and drive into their space instead to block them off, and then on top of that make them wait for the road to clear ahead of you to actually turn into makes no sense.

Every time I saw people doing some mad stuff on the road I kicked myself for not having a cam, and when I saw an old man in an electric wheel chair coming down Snakey Hill (King George VI Ave) on the road, as I was driving up it, I compelled to purchase one. It would have made a funny clip for...

I haven't just got cyclist footage and I have no problem with cyclists as a rule. The thread would have to be called Caught On Dash Cam for the general road using fools.

Might be because it's an Anti Car thread and I felt I needed to readdress the balance. Whataboutism is justified in this instance and it gave me an excuse to publish my images. I rest my case.

Almost as bad as the cyclists who jump red lights though: Or even cyclist travelling on the wrong side of the road: Or bikes without lights. Two in this one instance. From my dash cam collection.

I treat these junctions as zebra crossings. I am pretty sure that the highway code states we should always give way to pedestrians so it's always been pretty clear to me.
