This fits with the age old driving LPT - "assume everybody else on the road is an idiot" the amount of times I have avoided accidents just by assuming the BMW is going to cut me up, randomly slam his breaks on, turn without warning etc etc

Yes, this is great advice as both a driver and a pedestrian.

I never have an issue at zebra crossings as I am predictable, I make sure I've been seen, and I approach a crossing clearly. I've seen too many pedestrians walking along the path and go to cross without looking, or making it at all clear they're about to cross.
