They weren't chasing anyone or anything like that, they just came barrelling around a corner and ploughed through the pedestrian crossing I was on, which was green for me at the time. The crossing was just beside my hotel and I saw quite a few other cars do the same thing over the next few days. They appear to have a rather relaxed view towards the health and safety of pedestrians.
when i was in paris in the 90's, i learned not to use pedestrian crossings. the painted white lines must not what we irish presume they are, because crossing on them is not advisable. find anywhere else to cross, as its much safer.
