Taurus vs. Bus
Saw a San Francisco taxicab that'd gotten wrecked on both ends at once
by trying to take the inside track on an *articulated* Muni bus that was making a right turn. One of the first bits of advice I was given after moving there was "Don't mess with the Muni" (you know, just in case it isn't intuitively obvious that a bus is a lot bigger than a car and probably can't stop or maneuver very well even if the driver sees you coming), but some people just have to learn firsthand... Maybe they need a mechanical wig-wag turn signal amidships that can pound on the roof of a car that is blocking them out of a necessary and politely requested maneuver. Lots of truck drivers would probably enjoy such an accessory too: "Don't <whap!> drive in <whap!> the NO ZONE!" <whap> There are times I think Driver's Ed ought to include both a chance to drive a really big vehicle in at least simulated traffic just to see what it's like up there, and a ride-along with an ambulance crew on one of the major idiot-driving holidays (or perhaps volunteer work at one of the trauma centers where the ambulances bring 'em). --Joe |
