What if a pedestrian is crossing the road into which I am turning?

You need to check as you are turning. Slow down your vehicle and give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the road.

Strange how many London taxi drivers hoot at pedestrians crossing the road into which they are turning unaware that it is the pedestrians' right of way.

Pet hate of mine and not just at corners. Why do drivers think they have right of way over pedestrians at any time .... We like the Americans think it’s acceptable to drive at pedestrians and run them over... un like the Europeans who give way.

Who is responsible if a motorcyclist is going just above the speed limit (so police don't prosecute) but on approach to the a junction with a crossing and they are unable to see the other side of the road and the central reservation due to a build up of traffic in a filter lane and they hit a 12 year old child who runs out.
