- First rule: there are no rules.
- Second: Common sense and common courtesy…are not so common.
- Must have your own car and so does every single person in your home along with a driver or two.
- Choose whatever car you dream, because hey, let’s face it, you live with your parents until you’re married, so NO BILLS.
- Yes, I said your dream car, even if you have no clue how to properly drive it.
- Get a driver’s license, syke, that’s what “wasta” is for.
- Throw all consideration out the window, this is your road, no one else’s.
- Keep your phone on hand at ALL times: You never know when someone from your high school “Whatsapp” friends group needs to send you a text of an emojicon story of what happened at The Avenues that day.
- And duh, you must check your Instagram feed at every red light. Like, like, like.
- Never, ever, use your blinker.
- Merging, what is that? No, it’s every man for themselves, no, I won’t let you in, noooo.
- Zipper merges, wait…zippers like on my Fendi bag? That’s the only zipper I’m familiar with.
- Spot a car accident? Must yell at the traffic, honk horns, flash lights, and then take at least ten full Mississippi seconds to block all traffic to stare.
- No car accident? Must take at least five seconds to stare at every driver regardless.
- Crosswalk? “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
- When someone wants to merge into your lane, SPEED UP!
- When in doubt, never look in your rearview mirror. Say a silent prayer and hope that the other person drives a car as nice as yours, so they will not want to smash their’s either.
- Wait, what’s a rearview mirror? Isn’t that what I have a camera/sensors for?
- Look straight. If you make eye contact, that is equal to holding up a sign that says “FOLLOW ME FOR HOURS.”
- Cup holder must hold a Pumpkin Spiced latte at all times. Unless you want to take a drink, in that case you must shift your phone to your other hand, use your right hand to drink, and drive with your knees.
- I can’t even make a joke out of this one… Good gracious! Where are all the car seats?!? Put that baby in a car seat and strap their precious tiny body in!
- Women, please, let’s not perpetuate the stereotype that “Women are bad drivers.”
- Speed limit, is that what those signs with numbers are on the side of the road?
- Driving on Gulf Street, look forward. No really, seriously, always just look forward.
- Allow the Mustangs, Camaros, Lambos, and any other fast car to dodge and weave around you and the others, they are clearly practicing for Fast and the Furious #38, duhhh.
- Don’t go on the 2nd Ring Road in the evenings, unless you are up to no good.
- Emergency lanes = Extra lane for all!
- Roundabouts…Oh dear, take a deep breath, and don’t exhale until you have exited the roundabout.
- Read this while driving.
- Okay I’m joking about #29! But, I know you’re reading this while driving, put your phone down!
- Remember to say a prayer when turning on your car and remember, revolution begins with one…. Blinker.
Stay safe on the roads, people!
