There are faults of both parts in the pedestrian/driver thing. Alot of drivers are assholes, but alot of pedestrians are too, and forget that they stop more easily than half a tonne of steel and plastics. Every case is a case. As a pedestrian, I've been almost hurt, even in pedestrian crosses, but also as a driver, and I am a religiously safety driver.
As a pedestrian, to me its easy to minimize trouble, avoid crossing out of the zebras, and on those stop by them, looking at traffic. most people will see that i intent to cross and give me passage.
As a driver, I hope pedestrians do that before crossing and don't come running from nowhere and cross the zebra(the pedestrian crosses, I forget the name in english...).
In summary, I feel more confident as a pedestrian, because I'm carefull, and less in a car, that isn't something you can stop instantaneouly, I must rely on the good sense of others in botyh cases.
