Stopping in the middle of pedestrian crossings is illegal. The car is using a public road, and not following the social contract. I think drivers who behave that way should forfeit their cars.

You and everyone else break the law a dozen times a day so don’t get pedantic.

I break the law in prosocial ways. Stopping in pedestrian crossings is antisocial. I'm physically abled, but what if someone with a wheelchair or a walker needs to cross? They can't do that if there's a car in the way. The strong have an ethical duty to protect the weak from the strong. If I was a better person, I'd be spitting on the cars instead of just annoying the drivers with a tap.

Being a public nuisance is also illegal, as is property damage.

The driver in this imaginary scenario is a real dickhead, but you're also a massive twat.

Whatever makes you feel like a badass and helps you forget you're just a normal asshole.
