A New Entry for the Sloth Glossary: The -5 Sloth
A common Sloth this week is the "Colour Mixup Sloth". This Sloth brakes
for green traffic signals, but accelerates for yellow signals and doesn't stop for red signals. Another Sloth is the "Intersection Stopper Sloth". This Sloth was in the left-turn lane and the traffic signal was green. Of course, it was green until the Sloth started braking. The light turned yellow when the Sloth was in the middle of the intersection, and the Sloth slammed on the brakes and stopped, blocking all traffic except the drivers who swerved around it, for a light cycle. Of course, the most infuriating Sloths this week have been the LLBs. I was stuck in a traffic jam so long today that I almost ran out of petrol. Apparently, an LLB that was 5 km ahead of where I got stuck crashed into a truck that it was playing a speed-matching game with, instead of following KRETP. Sloths in the opposing passing lane slowed down to look, which caused additional crashes, and exits were quickly blocked as other Sloths tried to exit and jammed up the secondary roads. What does the left turn signal mean when it's blinking at a vehicle in the passing lane? To me, it means accelerate quickly and move out of the passing lane. I learned this in driving school, but apparently this isn't required in some localities? I was in the right lane doing 110. The truck in front of me was doing 100, and I prepared to pass. I noticed another car coming up fast, so I waited to let him pass me and then moved behind him. There was a slower vehicle in the lane ahead, so the passing driver turned on his left signal. Unfortunately, this LLB obviously didn't attend driving school, because it wouldn't yield. It got a nasty surprise when the blocked driver forced it onto the shoulder, turned on his signal, and returned to the right lane. Keep Right Except To Pass! |
