Uhhh.... No, not really. :-)  Indeed, electrons aren't even guaranteed 
to move forward in time, let alone in a smooth straight line.

Oh, I guess maybe Newton's laws apply as long as there are no virtual 
exchange particles around. And the electron doesn't spontaneously turn 
into a couple of photons and back.
