Gives me Southern Ontario vibes. Friends have been in the cross walk and when light turned green drivers aggressively accelerate to get you out of the way.

BC at least has a culture of pedestrian rights. You get near the curb and cars stop.

Man, i’d stand right in front of a car that did that to me. Fuck your rolling death machine, i have rights too. I’ll cling to your hood like a loony if you try to run me over.

I got so mad at someone doing that to me, almost hit me on a turn. I turned on him and yelled/cursed thru his window, approached his window and pointed at him yelling to "Pay the FUCK attention, asshole". I so threw him off he parked for 2 mins on a side road before driving off more cautiously. One day it may turn to something more physical, hasn't yet
