I have had a few close calls, people can be pretty stupid. What drives me nuts is people think they always have the right of way in the center of town and just cross the street. In the cross walks they do, and I do stop for them. But I am not locking up my wheels and getting rear ended. These idiots just walk and assume you will stop, it doesn't matter if you are 30ft away from them and going 30mph. I scared the crap out of one couple who just darted out from between a couple parked cars, didn't even stop and look. Sure they were in the cross walk and had the right of way, but come on you can't expect a car to stop on a dime. Hearing the ABS chater of a 4k pound Mercedes, and having my bumper stop less then a foot from them educated them. They still looked at me like it was my fualt, yeah sorry my 4k pound car can't stop in 2ft, next time look or you will die.
