They defy 1200 lb. vehicles going 20mph as if to say, "C'mon. Hit me. Then you'll see who's right." Insanity!
I think Florida law says you run/walk AGAINST traffic. So those people are on the wrong side of the road to begin with. even if it isn't the law, it is just good old life preserving common sense.
