Serves the driver right for stopping on a pedestrian crossing! However
it is not always possible to avoid doing so in traffic, and if the
traffic was stationary, the pedestrian could have easily walked around
it without needing to attack the motorist and vandalise his car. I
wonder if he is also a psycholist?

It's certainly possible; as has been regularly
noted in conversations with Doug, some people
do drive cars AND cycle.

Easier said than done when you have a pushchair and two under-10's with
you.

And one where a helmet might actually have made a difference.

Well, he did stop to give the car a good kicking, so he wasn't all that worried
about his clit****s.

And there I was thinking that you should keep the crossing clear in
queuing traffic. Very easy to do that by not moving forwards until
you can see that there is space on the other side.

Indeed. I'm sure JMS would advocate their compulsory use around town on a
Saturday night, lest one get involved in a fracas.
