Of course you probably don't but I was riding with a friend today and he did just that, when I asked why he said to teach the jaywalker a lesson, not to hit but scare him a little.

What do you do when a Jaywalker crosses your path?

    I know people who don't slow down and rev the engine a little.

    Since I am a pedestrian more often than a driver I understand "jaywalking" especially when the closest actual crosswalk is a 1/4 a mile away sometimes.
    When driving I rarely have an occasion when a pedestrian pisses me off, but when being a pedestrian I have been almost hit a few times when drivers are making turns and not paying attention. In fact the only time this has happened is when I am in the crosswalk crossing with the light so I actually feel safer "jaywalking".

    Your friend did a very idiotic thing. If he had hit the jaywalker, he would have been in serious legal trouble.

    Tell your friend that being in control of a speeding machine that weighs a few thousand pounds is no game! Also, tell your friend that nobody died and made him the Jaywalking Police.

    When driving, your friend's job is to get the car to its destination safely, without hurting himself, his passengers, or anyone else (drivers and passengers) on the road. That's his job. Nothing else.

    I roll down the window and yell, jaywalking is illegal. What really bothers me is when people do it with their kids or strollers.

    I mean, how irresponsible can one person be? What do they think the crosswalks are there for, fun?

    I usually assign a point value to them. Not that I would actually hit anyone but its a twisted little game I like.

    I press the clutch and rev the engine a bit, it sounds like your speeding up to hit them. They generally hurry up :)

    I don't speed up, wouldn't want to hit someone. It might make me late.

    I always slow down doesn't cost me anything but a couple seconds and I usually jaywalk myself and whenever someone's tried the whole speed up trick I've called their bluff and just stood there and when they start whining I flip em off and leave figure if they're gonna be a jerk I'm gonna make em wait lolz.

    None of the above. Usually I'm the one that's jay walking.

    have drivers ever gone faster causing you to have to run to make it across?

    I'm pretty good about waiting for no cars. But no, they have never gone faster if they see me crossing.
