Overtaking on a crosswalk

I viewed this unusual situation, I was waiting at a crosswalk and there was a number of people using a crosswalk. A woman was waiting in her car letting people cross when the guy behind her became aggressive driving around her stopped vehicle crossing onto the wrong side of the road to get through.

People had to get out of the way, he was accelerating through the crossing whilst people were still in the middle of the road. Had he have struck a pedestrian, he would be automatically guilty of a traffic violation. I would have hated to see a pedestrian in such circumstances, this was really a reckless act that had the potential to seriously injure a person. Naturally I'm glad this didn't happen, people really need to think about the consequences of their actions.
