    Absolutely fake. But also, of all the shitty things cars do, occasionally blocking a cross walk when there is ample space to go around isnt the worst.

    I’d love to see something like this for blocking bike lanes or parking on the sidewalk.

      My friends and I did this once, so not necessarily fake.

        I think the door would be locked so the guy couldn’t just open it from the outside. Although it’s hard to see if he didn’t open from the inside given there’s about 5 total pixels

      Yeah, bad street planning often means it’s impossible to see crosstraffic to turn unless you’re all the way into the crosswalk.

      If I’m walking and it happens, just walk behind their car. One of the most common scenarios for pedestrians to get hit is when people are turning right on red; They’re focused on watching the cross traffic, not looking at where their car is going. So they’ll see a gap and accelerate, only to hit a pedestrian.
