Y'might miss a lot of shots that way - I guess it depends on what you photograph, but when working the streets y'gotta be fast. Even taking a meter reading will slow you down too much sometimes.
A good "street shooter" will assess the light before going to work, and will know what the proper exposure is in various areas. No need for metering - the sunny side of the street is one exposure, shade side another, doorways may be a third. It's then just a simple flick of the finger on the shutter dial, or a quick twist of the aperture ring, and that's it. If you're anal, put a filter over your lens, stick on a good hood, and you don't need a lens cap when you're walking about.
