Driving in America

0 Conversations

Well, driving here is really odd. There is a nice fast commuter lane for those of us who play car pool (kind of like car snooker, but with fewer colours and a faster turn over.), but it is on the left, and not near any of the exits, which is quite annoying if you want to get off the road without having a crash.

There are some rules:
1 - If their car is bigger than your car - let it through
2 - If they are bigger than your car - let it through
3 - If their gun is bigger than your car - let it through
4 - the shoulder is a lane if you drive a Porsche
5 - Porsche drivers pay more for their cars so that they can own a personal stretch of road that is miraculously always under your own car.
6 - By dent (sorry - dint) of 4 wheel drive, you can do anything you want to on the road, provided no-one in a black car with flashing lights is watching.
7 - Police cars are considered to be being driven safely when they push other cars around.
