Reply to comment by SquishWindow in You must STOP for pedestrians in crosswalks! by thegrumpycarp

More than once I’ve made a conscious decision not to stop at a crosswalk for a waiting pedestrian for this very reason. I don’t trust the people behind and next to me enough to also stop.

Sounds like an awful excuse for not wanting to stop like you should lol

I know it does. I’m not proud of it and I feel terrible every time. It usually happens when I’ve already slowed down in preparation to stop and gotten honked at and it seems likely that the honker behind me is prepared to swerve around me if I stop. 9 times out of 10 I stop for pedestrians, but there are occasions when my better judgment tells me it’s safer for everyone involved to just keep going.
