The Rules of the Road
22 May 2010 Leave a Comment
Rank in order how much you like/appreciate/abide by the following road rules (1 being your least favorite and 5 being your most favorite)
- Wear your seatbelt (click it or ticket)
- Stay in your own lane
- Stop at the stop sign
- Drive on the road
- Indicate a turn by using your turn signal
Why even bother? Do these elements of driving really keep us that safe? While in a foreign country, if there is one thing that I noticed, it is that what we Americans consider road “rules” are merely suggestions. A 4-lane highway? Just a recommendation, but if you think 6 works better, then drive safely! Drive on the road? Well…unless the sidewalk or train tracks work better for your bike. Speed limits? As one of my new friends said it, “Shut up your mouth and drive your own car.”
