yeah,  which is a peeve on mine when I'm a pedestrian as well.  If a car is turning right into a drive, it waits for traffic.   But if a car is turning left, the pedestrian on a footpath is expected to give way.  



Is this meant to be jest, I can't tell?


All vehicles that are entering or exiting private property via a driveway are required to give way to pedestrians.

"When you drive across a footpath, such as going in and out of a driveway or supermarket carpark, you must give way to people using the footpath."



I read it as "what the law says and what people actually do are significantly different "
