Total "Blockheads"

In Eastern Europe some people get a driving license without knowing how to write. True story.

Some people drive like you would in GTA.

Of course the driver made a huge mistake BUT: he was partly looking into the sun and was going from bright circumstances into shadow, any experienced driver can tell you that can be very blinding. If he didn't know the area he may not have known there was a crossing. The pedestrian also made a mistake in my opinion. Even when you have the right and the law on your side to use a pedestrian crossing it is always wise to make sure you actually get the right of way and to put yourself in the position of a driver and not just mindlessly expect not to be hit by a car just because a few white stripes were painted on the tarmac...

In bigger cities over here, if you don't step on the pedestrian's crossing lines
no car will ever stop.

In Sovjet Russia, cars driving you.

In France, we have twelve points on the driver's license. If you do traffic violations, the cops take off some points, depending on the type of violation. If you make enough bullshit to reach zero points, your license is no longer valid. If you make a big bullshit, the judge can seize the car and take away the license even if there are still remaining points on it. But anyway, we don't care, because you have the right to continue driving and bullshit on the road, using a license-free car. In the Lorient court, where a lot of cases concern driving under the influence of alcohol, there is even a salesman who is waiting outside to sell license-free cars to people who leave the court after their judgement.

And that's legal. Authentic. Press report here
