Ah, good point, eye contact...
Hate cars with darkened front windows, especially police cars, can't tell where the driver is looking, I won't commit until I know what the drivers going to do, If I stop traffic, to bad... No eye contact or idea of a drivers intentions and I'm stopping, if I piss someone off, hey, I'm obeying the law, the obstruction of visual continuity is breaking the law.
I'd rather look at the eyes or see the hands, the wheels are a last resort.
Err, the op was a pedestrian traveling to fast.
