The Art of Jaywalking, Part 7 (Body Contact)


Jaywalking should not be a contact sport. However, you should think of yourself as a running back or wide receiver and use all parallel traffic as your defense. Even better, you're the quarterback and traffic and people are your defense. Oncoming traffic is the opponent's secondary. So if someone to your right begins crossing the street before you do, get in step with him/her. They may act as a human shield. The ideal situation is to have two defensemen on either side. Better yet, if you're at a four-way stop, move in rhythm with any cars traveling the same direction as you. There's no better defense than a couple two-ton vehicles. Unless it's Julius Peppers.
