Walking and Driving/Riding

I was walking down Georege st on Friday and wondered if there was a correlation between the way people walk, and they way they ride or drive? You get the ones who have no lane discipline, wont let faster walkers past and get teh shits when you shoulder charge them, certain people from other countries cant walk in a straight line let alone on one side of the foot path, spectators who are watching everything BUT where they are going, and others just bumble along, not looking and crashing into other walkers. Me, I walk FAST ( I speed everywhere) I lane split in pedestrian traffic (Touche!) Im always looking for the gap and I get pissed off when someone blocks me from going fast. Is there any merit to saying that people drive like they walk? If so were all stuffed!

I love it when someone says about speeders "They don't get there any faster, and if they do they only save a few minutes and it isn't worth it" I look these people in the eye and say "Getting there faster isn't the objective. getting out in front and going faster is. But you don't own a socket set do you? So you wouldn't understand..."
