and another, related wild take. you can miss an exit or a turn and keep going straight. it may take longer to get where you’re going, and it may be frustrating, but it’s safer and better than cutting people off
The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.
When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.
Ffs, I wish people thought this way. Oh shit, I need to cross five lanes of traffic right now!
The only people who need to hear this won’t listen.
No, if you failed the first time you failed your life
My partner backed into a space yesterday and asked me, “are we good?” I said, “not great.” She opened her door to check the line, laughed, re-parked. Some people understand.
Similarly, if you’re not in an extra long vehicle, you don’t need to veer way out to the left to make a right hand turn. A KIA Sonota isn’t an extra long vehicle.
Also on this note, if there’s a turn lane get fully in it before turning. It may as well not even be there at all if you’re gonna sit half out into the driving lane to slow down.
