Walking instead of driving to get from point A to point B is a great alternative. You save on gas money and, at the same time, get great exercise. However, pedestrians, if struck by a car, can be more prone to injuries, especially since they are not afforded the level of protection like that of a driver — having a seatbelt — or having a helmet, like that of a bicyclist or motorcyclist.
