I work in a crowded downtown district. Every day impatient motorists muscle their way into crosswalks while pedestrians are still crossing and come within a foot or less of hitting them while making a right turn. The traffic law where I am says you're supposed to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, regardless of if there's room for you to pass.

I don't care much if I'm all the way across the street and someone turns through the crosswalk anyway as long as they're not close to any pedestrians, but the other day I was walking back to the office from getting a sandwich, and as the light turns green I step into the crosswalk. This guy in a fancy Mercedes SUV is waiting to make a right turn but he has to wait for me to cross first. Meanwhile, across the street, a large group of pedestrians are coming towards us. He begins turning into the crosswalk while I'm still totally in front of him, and by the time I'm about to pass him, he's fully in the crosswalk about 2 feet away from me, with his car pointed at me. I can tell he's going to try to get through the crosswalk before the group of pedestrians coming the other way get to him, but if he does that he'll be driving through a gap in pedestrians that's only slightly wider than his car, basically getting really close to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

So instead of continuing walking, I just stop. Just long enough that the group of pedestrians approaching from the other direction are now in front of his car too, forcing him to come to a stop and yield as he's supposed to. At no point was his car even stopped to wait for me, he was inching forward the entire time, so when I stop walking he has to abruptly apply the brakes while partially in the crosswalk still. Once the pedestrians coming from the other direction are in front of his car I continue walking. He stares daggers at me the whole time.

Dick move or no?
