Despite being behind the wheel of a 3,000 pound machine, they inch close to pedestrians about as far as it would be socially acceptable in person. It's one of the dangers of becoming too familiar with driving and unfamiliar with what it's really like to walk around the city.

Remember folks: your car is massive compared to people. Keep your distance.
