NO! no! i won't stand for that! YOU were at the stop sign first...YOU go. <BR/><BR/>when there's a traffic situation that no one can seem to sort out while i'm driving, i'm usually the one to take action. <BR/><BR/>watch out for the crazy northeastern female in the white car!!! she can repair things with her mind you know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455108749941015384.post-54109064683365243372009-01-19T22:03:00.000-08:002009-01-19T22:03:00.000-08:00We were at an intersection today, wanting to turn ...We were at an intersection today, wanting to turn left. We had our signal on. Across from us was a car also wanting to turn left (their left). They also had their signal on. <BR/><BR/>Now, in places that aren't Seattle, we both would have made our respective left turns and hardly thought about it. <BR/><BR/>But Smartz and this other driver made eye contact and both waited to see if the other driver was actually going to make the signaled turn. Were the blinkers just a psych-out? Did one of the drivers accidentally signal for a left turn when really the desire was to go straight? How can one really, truly know? <BR/><BR/>After ten seconds of each driver edging out onto the street, Smartz finally made up her mind to just go for it. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, both cars survived a situation where clearly ANYTHING was possible. <BR/><BR/>This is a weird ass town. I really dig it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
