"I had some do this to me but they were pedestrains on a dark country road were the speed limit was 50 and they were walking along the side of the road. no side walks. They threw thier drink at me."

The mention "side walks" indicates you may be on the USA side of the Atlantic. Here in the UK, under the conditions you describe, the pedestrians have at least equal right of way. We don't really have a concept of "jay walking". Under extreme circumstances, there may be a case of obstruction if it can be shown to be unreasonable, eg just standing in the road blocking traffic for "fun".
