I sympathise Footie, but you are so obviously in a fairly country area in remarking this.
Both these are a virtual daily occurrence for me in and near my London Borough, the sudden loud yell from passengers with their windows down sometimes happening more than once on a trip. Vans and lorries are usually the worst for that.
As for bunches of kids anywhere near the pavement edge, I treat them as if I'm passing a parked car, moving several feet out as I approach to avoid them having the opportunity.
We live in an age of morons where a very low IQ is seen as a reason for pride.
