Things I Miss By Walking to Work

A collection of automobile adventure I saw today in the two miles I drove back and forth to work.

Minivan pulls out of gas station on left side of road across 4 lanes of one-way traffic. Can’t make it to the right most lane to make his right turn at the upcoming intersection so stops in the second lane and waits until a bus finally stops in the right lane to let him across.

A full 18 wheeler backing into a small driveway on a two lane street where cars are parked on both sides. I didn’t think he could do it but he did.

Towtruck double parks on a narrow two lane road right near a busy intersection and the guys get out to look at the car across the street without giving a thought to helping the line of cars building up maneuver safely around the truck. Near miss with an oncoming motorcycle narrowly averted.

At a stop light just before the on-ramp to the freeway on a four lane one-way road car in the left most lane sees the on ramp is real busy so makes a right turn across all the other lanes just before the light turns green.

Car pulls out of office building parking lot at 5:30 at night and drives three blocks before realizing her lights weren’t on (oh that one was me).
