Today’s task was “invent your traffic rule of the road”
The book gave a number of examples for inspiration.
1. When you see a green car, turn left — Took me to the boonies far from Fred’s where I was going to purchase pizza.
2. Have a road rage attack at the next intersection — always, especially when people are on cell phones and thus don’t see the light turn green. I honk at them like a mad woman (not to mention swearing sometimes in Russian as our swear words are much worse than the English ones).
3. Travel at exactly 36 mi per hour — that was hard to do as I forgot my glasses and could hardly see the speedometer. Maybe next time?
4. Play chicken with oncoming cars if their number plate starts with H — thank you god I did not see any. Although a couple of times in my life I did go against the traffic on one direction road because my Google lady was confused (maybe not enough coffee?) and sent me directly there. I was lucky as the road was wide and the oncoming cars were able to go around me. Never have I ever been that glad for the right turn into another road.
5. Swerve to make other drivers think there is ice on the road — First I had to check if there was a police car nearby so that they don’t stop me for drunken driving and either take me to jail or at the very least give me a ticket. No police, so I proceeded. That was fun but I stayed with the lane just in case.
So, now was a time to invent my own. You all know my gripe with Subarus: driving 15 mi under the speed limit and not using turn signals and occasionally cutting you off changing lanes. Every time I drive behind the one I get road rage (see road rage comment above). So, I invented the sign that prohibits Subarus on the road and hope someone would erect it everywhere (maybe I will write to the Department of Transportation with this proposal).
