That makes me think of something that was forwarded to me several years ago when I first started driving in Nashville...it was Nashville driving rules for new residents....something like:
1. When a traffic light turns green, count to 5 before proceeding through the light to allow the remaining drivers in the red direction time to quit driving through.
2. There are two Old Hickory Blvds to deal with.
3. There is ALWAYS construction somewhere in Nashville. This year it's I-440...the entire thing!
4. If it's raining, leave an hour early.
5. If it's snowing, leave two hours early.
6. If it's sunny, leave early anyway because there's bound to be a wreck somewhere.
7. Nashville drivers can't drive in the dark so after the fall back, leave early.
8. If you need to get across town during rush hour, you're better off going straight through the middle of downtown because everyone else will be stuck on the interstates. (True!)
9. Apparently cars sold in Nashville aren't required to have turn signals.
10.Merging onto the interstate doing 25mph when other cars are doing 70+ makes perfect sense.
11.Truck drivers think the HOV lanes mean "heavy over-sized vehicle" and they belong to them.
12.During rush hour, the only way to change lanes is to buy the car next to you.
13.Nashville Idiot Driver Day is always on days of the week that end in "Y".
14.There will be more cops and troopers sitting and watching the interstates on Sunday mornings when there is no traffic than any other time when it's all backed up.
15.Signs that say, "left lane closed 3 miles ahead" really mean you can stay in that lane until you get to the orange cones and then expect to be able to move over. After all, they didn't give you enough advance notice that your lane is closed.
16.Some days traffic is backed up so bad that you can change a tire without ever losing your spot in line.
17.Tennessee's hands-free law only applies to people who give a crap.
18.Even the cops drive like it's the Indy 500.
19.The morning rush hour is from 5:00 to 10:00.
The evening rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:00.
Friday’s rush hour starts Thursday morning.
20.If someone uses their turn signal, they're probably not from here.
