One More Time, Guys

One Car
One Lane

Seems like a simple enough concept...

Here's some other tips:
1. If you're going to run a red light, please do it following fairly close to another vehicle. If there's a large break in traffic the people with the green light may just you're going to stop. This might cause a lot of horn honking, tire squealing, and general discord. There's a slight chance it might be your fault. Oh, and if you're doing this on a left turn, watch the crosswalk. YOU MAY JUST RUN SOMEONE THE FUCK OVER!

2. If things fall off of your car (including but not limited to: muffler, transmission, fender, bumper) it's a very polite thing to get both the car and the pieces off the road so as the not unnecessarily complicate other commuters.

3. A base model '97 3000GT isn't fast enough to beat you, but it is fast enough to keep you out of a lane you may want to be in. Please be courteous about lane chances. The quarter mile of space behind the GT is probably a cozier place than the three car lengths (and closing) ahead.

4. If you hit that pedestrian, you'll probably feel bad. Granted, the city of Las Vegas won't prosecute you (despite the speeding and weaving around like Mr. Magoo) but your conscience will.

5. Don't throw stuff out your window (unless it's evidence) - that's just tacky. If you do throw stuff out your window, don't hit other cars. If you do both of those don't be surprised by the horn honking, swearing, and finger pointing.

6. Toyota Corolla does not equal hotrod. Though you may try, though you may pray, though you may embarrass yourself; you're still driving a Corolla. Might be time to upgrade to that Chevy Cavalier you've always wanted.

7. If the near miss is your fault, don't honk at me. I'm prone to escalate things like that.

That's all for now. Study hard, there'll be a test tomorrow.
