The first car I meet this morning on an intersection on the campus. We are both on the main road. Bad. Heavily tinted windows so I can’t see whether a man or a woman steers the car. For the sake of not being discriminative against women, let’s assume it is a guy.
He wants to go straight, I want to turn left, so according to all the traffic rules of each country I know I have to yield. So I stop. He stops too and wants me to go first. Either I am so attractive that he wants to have an extended look at me – highly unlikely at my age, or he is is a very shy and polite person – too humble to be in this world and bother others, or he plainly does not know the rules.
Basically I don’t care why he stopped, I just dislike those people. They cause confusion, unnecessary delays and the sort of accidents I had last week when another driver ignorant of rules did not yield when turning left, and knocked me off my motorbike.
Why can’t people have the decency and learn the most basic rules before they sit in and control a dangerous technical device with lots of potentially destructive power?
