Of late I have started carrying my phone with video recording already activated on my weekend walks due to the actions of a few motorists, especially down narrow roads where there is barely room for a car and pedestrian to pass safely.
Seeing a car approach at an unreasonable speed I hold up my phone and, miraculously, the car suddenly slows down and makes room for me to pass. Quite impressive really.

I think that would work the same even if you have not video recording activated, i.e. holding up any coloured rectangle would work as well, the case you need the video is only when it doesn't work.
- dazc 5y agoI may just try the coloured rectangle idea, could be interesting if I am challenged - which has already happened once with the phone.
- jaclaz 5y agoNot coloured, but handy (and both waterproof and shockproof, guaranteed, no batteries/charger) just in case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoPhone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoPhone https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nophone-usa/the-new-and-unimproved-nophone/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nophone-usa/the-new-and... (I think the company went out of business recently, though)

- dazc 5y agoIf you bring your car to a party and drive at speed towards me expecting me to leap over a wall to avoid being hit, yes I am. Otherwise, not so much.
