Those type of people are all over Hong Kong but I'd hazard a guess that there is a bigger concentration of them in DB...Original Post Deleted
Sometimes "GREEN" light does not apply to pedestrians to cross the road, unless it was a GREEN MAN. Many times a green light means cars can go straight or make a left turn. Pedestrians have to look for the pedestrian signals. Do what many irate women do, take off your heels and fling them in said direction of cabbie.
yeah, happened to me a couple of days ago in the bus terminal. although i wasn't paying attention at the time. but there is absolutely no reason for the mini bus to go that fast inside the terminal. he stopped within reasonable distance and i just ran across. even before that, i was thinking about how fast they were going in when i was on the bus during rush hour. so many people there and many have no place to line up but on the bus lane sometimes. they still go very fast. frightening to say the least.
Don't forget that taxi drivers always speed up when they see you crossing the road. It must be part of the HK Highway Code or something.
OP, as a suggestion perhaps you could organise a march from Causeway Bay to Tamar to protest against such bastard behavior?
I disagree. Green man means you can cross. Flashing green man means the cops can tell you to be "more careful" and the red man means the cops can fine you ($1500!!).
Just because the green man is showing, doesn't mean you just wander across the road without looking. Cars go through red lights, accidents can happen etc etc. It's only commonsense to keep your wits about you. Although I admit that commonsense seems to be a lot less common these days, especially in HK.
