Traffic laws, shmaffic laws

Say you're driving down the road behind someone going too slowly. Don't get yourself upset, just go around them - - and while you're at it, stay in that left lane for awhile until you want to move over. Let the oncoming traffic figure out how to deal with you; you're driving where you want to drive, darn it! Missed that turn 1/8 of a mile back? Make a U-turn no matter where you are, no matter how fast you're going, no matter how much traffic there is - - it doesn't matter! Go where you want to go, do what you want to do. Making a right turn or a left one for that matter? Go ahead and make it without looking because those drivers need to pay attention and watch where they're going, not you. And those people making the honking? They're not mad they're just letting you know they're there. It's okay. Let it be. Things will work out. You'll get to your destination and prolly in one piece, strangley.

On my first visit I was tense with all the honking, on the second visit I felt fairly comfortable with it. Now? It doesn't faze me in the least, not in the least. Honk on, it doesn't bother me. And while you're at it, drive on the sidewalk if you want to.
