I would definitely benefit from cycle training and reading the Highway Code, if only to make me more tolerant of others.
I walk in the road when I need to, which is quite a lot. All I meant was it seems to me that more and more people choose to walk down the road next to parked cars, on quiet side streets, with no other pedestrians or visible obstacles on the wide, flat pavement. It doesn’t really affect me most of the time, and maybe only once or twice I’ve had to swerve around because I wasn’t 100% alert in the dark at 5:30am. I just genuinely wonder why they do it.
