I was pulling out of a junction the other day when a crazy roller blader zoomed up the pavement, didn't stop thinking that he had the right to pass straight in front of my car across the road and that I should stop for him. I almost didn't see him as he came up over my left shoulder on a pavement at great speed!. He started beating on my rear window and shouting obsenities as he just managed to avoid ploughing right into the side of me.

I've seen this a couple of times with roller bladers who seem to forget that they are still a pedestrian and don't own both pavement and road and that every one has to get out of their way irrespective of whether on foot or in a vehicle. Very dangerous.
