Erm...I'm happily driving along a road and want to turn off it. So now I have to be a mind reader and worry about having the vehicle behind colliding in to me when I leave my car out in the main road 'cus I'm giving way to a pedestrian.

Or am I missing something somewhere .


I'm more for "Choices lead to consequences." If I chose to walk across a road when there's a vehicle turning into it then the consequences are down to me, not someone else trying to second guess what I'm going to do.


Andy.
got a feeling it is already give way to pedestrians crossing the road.
If you slow down enough before turning, the car behind will also slow, if you try to take the corner at "speed" they will follow at speed.
