Being an inconsiderate idiot is a mindset and nothing to do with a chosen form of transport but it's great to see you revelling in the prospect of one type of dangerous idiot being able to get away with breaking the law. No doubt you'll continue enjoying the thought that law breakers are unidentifiable when someone you love gets badly injured or worse by a cyclist on the pavement and they're never traced. Perhaps you'll also enjoy having an idiotic pedestrian jump out in front of you or one of your loved ones causing an accident from which you/they suffer greatly as a result of and the cause of the problem runs off into the night. They're untraceable too right. I'm sure that'll make you feel all warm and cosy...
Accidents are an inevitable fact of life. I might have an accident in my car, on my motorbike, as a cyclist or as a pedestrian. Some people have an accident in their pants whilst typing from their armchair .

Perhaps all pedestrians should be made to wear a registration plate? They can have personalised numbers like FAT50....
