Advice to motorists for pedestrians waiting at crosswalks

This post is inspired by actual events.

To those fools driving cars who expect that distant pedestrians will step into your path while you're still racing towards them:

reality check!

Give some damn indication that you're going to stop or slow down so that they can make it. No doubt they value your legs. Do you value your own? Put yourself in their place.

Don't burn up to the crosswalk, then screech to a stop and yell impatiently for the pedestrian to hurry up. If you look like a homicidal madman, you will be assumed to be one.
