I spend a large part of my daily life as a pedestrian, but in weather conditions like those of recent weeks, the pavements are a generally tedious and potentially dangerous walk, and so when one side of the road is clear, I jolly well walk right down it.
If I so much as suspect a vehicle anywhere near, I hop right back onto the pavement, but it pisses drivers off nonetheless. It's as though society is so blinded by road safety, we can't see that a road is only dangerous when there's something driving down it.
I'm forever having verbals with strangers over this.
What are your thoughts on this matter as either a pedestrian or driver?
