Duck's School of Driving


Over the past few days of driving, I realized more than ever that I need to teach people to drive.
Many of the basic rules are being broken, especially in Georgia. These people are crazy.
We got off the interstate and traveled on the highway through most of Georgia. Initially this was not our fault. Driving through some construction, we decided to stop and get some food. On our way out, we realized they had closed the ramp back onto the interstate. They didn't tell us that before we exited. A "no re-entry" sign would have been nice. So, we decided to keep trucking.

I'm going to write a book to teach people some basic concepts of driving in traffic. I'm convinced that if everyone would drive like me, we would have no problems. I'll give this book away for free.

Chapter 1: turning.
This is a very complex move for many. If a turn lane is present, you should move into it before braking. This would cause no disruption behind you.
Before braking, you should always turn your turn signal on, so that cars behind you will be expecting you to brake.
When you make a right turn onto a highway, you should stay in the right most lane. This will help prevent someone in the fast lane from smashing into the back of you.
Chapter 2: i'm towing a boat
So, you are towing your boat out to the lake for the weekend. You should not pull into traffic traveling sixty mph, and then max your speed at 40 in the left lane. You also need to read the rules of using turn lanes.

It's still a work in progress, but I sure am glad that I'm not driving today.

Is your little monkey doing what It think she is doing in this pic. Was it amied at a Gergian hula hooper using the cross walk? Perhaps they had escaped from Florida the capitol of hula hooping crosswalkers. And I thought J-walkers were scum.
