Default No wonder so many pedestrians get hit by cars

I was going to my local supermarket doing my shopping tonight, I pull into the car park and see 3 people walking down the MIDDLE of the 2 way ROADway in the car park. I came to an almost complete stop waiting for them to move to the side. 2 of them turned around, saw me coming and proceeded to continue walking down the middle, the other actually did the right thing and moved to one side. I was about to drive by them when she did this so I was just getting on the throttle a little and letting the clutch out when I had to dip the clutch again and it appeared I was revving the engine at them. Then I just drove past them and the guy is yelling out at me as if I did something wrong.
I was patient - I gave them clear opportunity to move to the side - either side and they decided to be smartarses and block the road.
If I was going to run them over, I wouldn't have slowed down to begin with

I made sure to do a quick check when I left for any attacks on my car.
