Slapping someone's car or yelling at them hardly strikes me as comparable in it's severity to being clipped or even a near miss by a driver.
I once ended up on the hood of a car when the driver started going forward while I was walking right in front of him in the crosswalk at a stop sign. I had no idea I was in the wrong for yelling at him. Adrenalin and fear are an odd combination and clear thinking doesn't enter into it sometimes.
Doesn't strike me as very Canadian either to look a pedestrian in the eye and then deliberately and knowingly break the law and nearly hit the pedestrian. But I guess there will always be different views of what's acceptable and what isn't.
And I stand by my opinion and think traffic cams at the busier intersections would be a great idea. The only logical (though not legitimate) argument that can be made against them is by those who are most guilty of breaking the laws. Hardly a compelling reason not to do so.
