Mixed Signals????
This past weekend while driving a couple of hours we noted some people driving as if they were clueless…go figure. Not that this is a new concept it possibly could have been that 85% of what we saw were people in denial (DE NILE, that other area in another country)…
Traffic Schools?
The first intersections were probably created by early man looking for the best route to water holes or hunting grounds.
Thousands of years later, intersections were crowded with horses, carriages, and people.
They soon became wider and more complex.
By the time the automobile was invented, intersections were already major hazards.
With the coming of the automobile, intersections had turned into deadly meeting places.
So we created rules and laws establishing right-of-way privileges at intersections.
Ummmmmmmm Rules? Far out!
When driving on the right:
The lane designated for faster traffic is on the left
The lane designated for slower traffic is on the right
Most freeway exits are on the right
Overtaking is permitted to the left, and sometimes to the right.
Dast we even get into YIELDING let alone the use of the Directional Signals!!!
