Driving For Dummies. (That’s You, Fool!)
1. Stop signs are never optional.
2. Don’t block streets or parking lots when you’re in traffic. Just because you’re stuck in traffic doesn’t mean everyone on the other side of the road needs to be as well. It only makes YOU look stupid.
3. Did I mention that stop signs are not optional? Because they’re NOT. I wish I could put a cop at every stop sign, so that you’d all get tickets for your stupidity, and then hopefully you’d learn to use your damn breaks. But then… this far into the game, if you haven’t learned yet, you’re too stupid to ever get the picture. I still hope you all get pulled over. Over and over again.
4. Use. your. blinker. It’s not an accessory, that little lever attached to your steering wheel. It’s there to warn other drivers that you’re changing lanes or turning. It comes BUILT IN. I hope you get a ticket for not using your blinker to change lanes. Seriously.
That is all.
In Michigan when you have more than one lane of traffic going in each direction it is illegal to stop to allow people to turn into a parking lot in front of you – you’re obstructing their view of other traffic. So you stop, the turning car assumes there’s no oncoming traffic and proceeds to turn, only to have the guy he couldn’t see come cruising down the second lane and run right into him. I’ve seen it happen more than once. So please don’t call me stupid when I block a gas station entrance – I’m preventing you from getting into an accident. Log jamming a road is a different story altogether though, I’ll give you that one.
