Public transport is the reason I got a 'ped when I was 16.

Admittedly though back then 'peds were only just coming back into vogue and public attitude was very different then today. However some of them may graduate up to bikes in a few years time and how will we treat them then?

But I digress. Mopeds do it and so do some bikers. I did it once, I over took a car indicating and turning right. I had a very, very near miss. I was 17 at the time and riding my TZR, I would never do it again. Everyone makes mistakes, its what you do after that counts but I am troubled by the attitude that some have taken.
