the driving in phoenix manifesto

Thanks, Alan, for this one. Too funny.

Dri­ving in Phoe­nix Mani­festo
1. We drive the tem­pe­ra­ture here, not the speed limit.
2. We have dedi­ca­ted Left turn lanes, but don’t worry, they are great
pla­ces to catch up on the news­pa­per.
3. Since we have left turn lanes, blin­kers, horns and lights are optio­nal.
4. Only new­bies and roo­kies use their horns, since we don’t use our turn
sig­nals, no sense using anything else con­nec­ted to the stee­ring column.
5. The only excep­tion to the horn rule is just before the sound of crashing.
6. If you are invol­ved in a crash and the other per­son lea­ves, they are
ille­gal, have no dri­vers license or insu­rance and it’s their cou­sins car.
7. Your favo­rite store is always on the other side of town.
8. If the per­son in front of you has white hair, change lanes and
streets, they are snow birds, older than dirt, and have no idea where
they are.
9. The Acci­dent report on the radio is always lon­ger than the news­cast.
10. Dri­ve­time is qua­lity time, use it wisely, it’s bed­time by the time
you get home.

    Too true, I hate the thought I’ll be down there over the holidays.

    LOL! Too true! My in-laws lived there for a while, visi­ting was a nightmare!

    Aww…I used to live there and want to move back — I’ll take the traf­fic over living in New Orleans.
