Has anyone misread a pedestrians signals when pulling out of a driveway and almost hit them? Please share.?

Question

I was pulling out, stopped for the pedestrian. It looked like he was going to stop walking and let me go, but as I went he kept walking and put his hand on my mood.

Answer 1

He has the right of way. Make him take it.

Answer 2

Yes it has happened to everyone and you just have to face the facts that alot of people get confused when they see a car coming.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, pedestrians ALWAYS have right of way, even if they are dipsh!ts and jaywalking. Or drunk. Or insane. Or waddling down the middle of the road.

BTW, it's also illegal to "wave someone on" whether it's a driver or a pedestrian.

Answer 4

Yea thats happened to me in a walmart parking lot. I stopped for the lady 2 cross..she waved me on and when I went to proceed on she decided she wanted 2 walk luckily I had good reflexes and hit the frikken break. And by the way its not "illegal" to wave someone on (My Dad's a Cop), the only problem you have with that is that 1 your at fault if you hit a pedestrian cause they have the right away but if your on the road and another driver waves you on then hits you, your at fault even if the other driver waved you on.
