Badseed: That is actually a rather good observation.
To futher extend on that - one of the best ways to get a feel for [i]different[/i] driving habits in other cultures is to observe the differences in walking habits. The similarities are uncanny - and served long ago to convince me that what you have hypothesized is true. It would be interesting ot read an actual sociological study on the phenomenon, though. |

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Especially when you are walking in a crowded area where everyone is moving the same direction (similar to being on a freeway). People will just suddenly jump to their left or right without even looking. Or worse...I love it when they just STOP for no apparent reason.
Of course, I think your analogy breaks down in my example when people stop and start walking AGAINST the traffic...that, of course, only happens in LA during a cop chase.... |

I love the ones who hit the end of an aisle, look carefully to the left and then take a sharp RIGHT!
This is second only to walking backwards on the stupid scale! |

That's funny. I have actually asked someone that exact question:"Do you drive like you walk?" All I got was a dirty look and a turned up, snooty nose.

If they walked like they drove in Seattle, I'm not sure we would ever make it into the store before closing time ;)
