I always find turning around whilst seated in a car, presumably with a seat belt on very dificult, have you got any tips as I keep getting my arm caught in the straps.

Yes because getting out and assualting him is really clever and tough.

No its not, but I can feel the op's anger. Its bloody annoying when drunk people decide to leave reason behind and stroll into the road and then try and make you look like the bad guy.

It does make you feel like getting out a decking them.

Sorry "I turned around" is an expression used by the youth today that I do not like. You turned the car around is a differnt thing.

I remember driving through the centre of Glasgow one night after I had finished work and some drunken tool steps out in front of my car, luckily I am going at crawling speed due to traffic (taxis / police vans). He then just stops, in front of my car, turns round to face me and starts making come on then gestures and shouting. So I just started driving forwards - slowly- into him. He then got out of the way and gave me the finger. Idiot.
This was when I had the 145 so wasn't caring about the paint work.

And yes the police did see the whole incident and no they didn't do anything to either me or the drunk. Meh.

Even sober people like to walk infront of cars it seems. I came off of a roundabout where you instantly come to a set of lights for a pedestrian crossing. The lights were on flashing amber and the way was clear however I did notice a guy approaching the crossing. As I am approaching the crossing the guy suddenly decides to cross causing me to brake for fear of running the twunt over. Once I realise I'm not going to hit him, I pull away and check my mirror to see the guy pointing seemingly at the flashing green man.

Flashing amber means go ahead if the crossing is clear correct? Or was it an error on my part.

If a drunk steps out in front of your car and you hit/injure/kill him - who gets the blame?

It's worth mentioning that government figures show 84% of pedestrian casualties happen through their own negligence...

As safe as you may have felt whilst in your car, turning around and heading back to a pissed up bloke is showing intent, which, in many cases could turn out to be quite messy.

What's wrong with just ignoring it/him?

My old man was up in London for a white-tie dinner a fair few years ago now. Anyway, on the way back this drunk steps out infront of him (just near sparks cars on the A40 at the lights there). Anyway he hits this stupid twunt who flies across the road. He thinks he's killed this guy as he doesnt move etc.

Anyway drunk basically comes to and is undamaged.

Police found it ammusing to see my old man in his white tie standing by a 993 Turbo 4 (awesome car!!) with some drunk laid out hehe

Try riding a bike - its even worse.

What a lot of people don't seem to grasp is that if they get hit by a moving vehicle (car, bike or otherwise) they are going to get hurt - take some responsibility for where you are walking you mouthbreathing tts

Are you talking motorbike or bicycle??

Thinking about it, I guess both would hurt, but just curious?! I do think people tend to not realise the impact a bike would have (whether into themselves or their car)?!

I mean bicycle - a motorbike would be pretty crappy too though.

Probably wouldn't write off a car, but could easily do enough damage to someone to kill them and hurt like fook for the cyclist too.

Defo could kill a ped. I think in a car the bigger issue would be the rider??

Think of hitting a deer and then think how much bigger a person is/could be?
