The car pulls out and immediately fails to yield to two pedestrians at a crosswalk at 0:54. One of the pedestrians is in the crosswalk.

The car did have the right of way though, as the crosswalk had a red light on. As to why one of the pedestrians decided to stand in middle of the road during a red light, I have no idea.

  That might be the way it works in Israel, but it's not a safe way to drive even if the law permits it. In Washington state, every intersection is a crosswalk whether or not it's marked, and you have to stop for any pedestrian crossing an intersection whether or not the light says the pedestrian can be there. I hope these car companies get local laws right. But it would be best if they did the safe thing even if local laws didn't require it.

    It's not a safe way to walk either, and I don't know where walking against a red light is legal.

      Walking through a red-light is illegal and so is driving through a green light when somebody is improperly walking through the intersection. There's no contradiction here.

      In England it is legal as long as the walker determines it is safe to do so.

It also has a traffic light so I guess this isn't a crosswalk where the car has to yield. The pedestrian isn't really in the crosswalk, there is a yellow dashed line. Very confusing but I guess: Different countries, different rules. 1:44 is also confusing, no signs at all so the car should yield to the car coming from the right. 3:35 looks dangerous, pulling left into the scooter. 10:00 he says that it is very challenging to drive in Jerusalem and that you can drive everywhere if you can do it there. I haven't seen anything challenging up to this point in the video, all roads are clearly marked, no potholes, almost no traffic, lots of signs. This looks very easy to me.

  1:44 might have a yield sign behind the no entry sign. Looking at Google Maps, it might be 16 HaMatmid Alley, and in the 2011 Street View photos there appears to be a yield sign behind the no entry sign.
