I can't believe I saw this

Its just a few weeks since little Sophie was run over on a pedestrian crossing and a schoolgirl was hit on a crossing in southern Sydney by someone overtaking cars waiting at the crossing - and it was all over the news. I just dropped my son off at school this morning and was waiting behind three cars stopped at the crossing while kids are walking across. Next thing a red Camry (what else!) in front of me pulled out, a bit impatient, and started to overtake the waiting cars. When he (she?) gets to the crossing they suddenly realise it and hit the anchors. Kids resume crossing and there's the idiot like a shag on a rock on the wrong side of the road facing cars stopped in the other direction.

The street is a dead-end and the only road in and out of the suburb so the person could have been a local and must have known the crossing was there.

This person shouldn't have a driving licence (and possibly shouldn't have been born). Where is the local patrol car when these things happen? Well as it happens, down on the highway nearby at the bottom of a long safe clear hill with no side streets or built up area clocking up drivers as they drifted down the hill over the speed limit. Safety can't be allowed to stand in the way of revenue raising can it?
