"Mr Walker" ("Goofy" in a suit and tie) is a man of "average" intelligence who considerately avoids stepping on an ant as he walks to his garage to head to work in the morning. Thing is, once he gets the engine on it all goes to his head and he becomes the maniacal "Mr. Wheeler" in traditional "Jekyll & Hyde" fashion. Unfortunately for him, everyone else using the road takes the same thoughtless and aggressive approach to their journeys and soon accidents and pile-ups accrue. It's quite a clever look at just how silly the whole concept of getting there ten seconds earlier is; of getting there momentarily before a colleague, finding that elusive parking space or of not caring a jot for other road (or kerb) users. A concept turned on it's head when our driver reverts to pedestrian status and briefly and fearsomely appreciates the selfishness of motorists. Might he learn? What do you think...? Maybe patience is a virtue?
