You will disagree. But you are wrong. ALL drivers do this, including you.
Car drivers always force pedestrians into a game of chicken, when the pedestrian will only be yeilded to if a failure to yield to the pedestrian will cause the death of the pedestrian and imprisonment of the driver.
The only exception is when there is a red light for the car. But then the car is stopping for the red light, not for the pedestrian.

You think what you will. Only I know what's going on in my head.
