Why is it that I'm a feather & everyone else is a brick? (Destiny)

I've definitely been paying attention to this the past few days. Part of the effect, though not all of it, is based on speed. If someone is going faster than you they will bump you. Also if they have a higher top speed than you they bump you around.

The front/back end thing seems somewhat plausible too, though I think odd lag spikes can cause problems too. One too many times I've pulled apart from people and missed a gate because some invisible something bumped into me.
