Re: Speed differentials
Well, yes. Actually Mark's mantra in the film is "avoid being 3 abreast", but it boils down to a very similar thing. If you can be always next to a space, that's safest. If you can move sharply between spaces when traffic to the side is apparently placid and unlikely to cause nasty surpris...

Re: Speed differentials
