Over the years I've had night hawkers, courting couples, roadside hampers, people shortcutting through the estate on private road,a group of army cadets.
Courting couples, especially with 2 cars present, normally leg it as I presume the oncoming headlights might be the other party's husband/wife.
Roadside lamping chaps tend to be shocked at being lamped back from the stubble, normally leg it.
One night hawker laid flat on the stubble, I drove to within 6 feet of him before getting out

never caught him again.
Locals shortcutting through estate to avoid drink driving charges also easily dealt with. I locked a gate in front of one prewarned offender, then nipped around him through the fields and locked the one he'd just came through. Estate manager met him next morning and dealt with him.
A dozen army cadets on an orienteering exercise at night,all wandering through a wood with torches, I ended up putting them aboard the Hilux and dropping them off near the next checkpoint. Doubtless they all went on to be officers they were that far off their designated route

A lot different now with thermal,the few encounters I've had with people really seems to terrify them, just approaching them really close proximity out of the pitch dark and enquiring if I can help them
