My kids are constantly amused whenever people merge properly and I'm sitting there going YAY! WE ALL MERGED! WELL DONE EVERYONE! GOLD STARS! at the other drivers that can't hear me XD
In fairness in the "difficult" areas that I regularly have to navigate, everyone except the stupid hoons are fairly polite and everything just works (strangely). Can't really say the same in some of the other areas where everyone absolutely has to get through first at all costs and then wonder why they're slowed down even more when everything banks up massively.
I liked the rhythm and rhyme of this one though other and bothered amused me some XP
ENLIGHTENED!!!
I'm sure the saying the same thing, so you're all good :)
The thing is, I didn't intend for this to rhyme, but after that first line accidentally did, I just rolled with it. I couldn't think of a rhyme for other for some reason. I guess... I couldn't be bothered with it hahaha!
I wonder if the difficult areas you guys encounter are relative or they are really difficult. What I'm saying is that for more developed countries, some problems that you guys encounter seem like a regular thing for us developing countries haha! I'm not underestimating it though, and I do think that the difficult areas you navigate are really difficult. It's interesting how you would assess the situation of the traffic here if you get the chance to drive here.
In any case, I'm glad to have you back commenting here! I've been checking your account to see if you had posted anything new every time I log in. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, mate! :)
The "difficult" areas are merging lanes and single lane crosses (not sure what they're actually called, basically there is a very narrow road or bridge where only a single line of vehicles can cross at a time so you're relying a lot on basic politeness for people to take turns going through).
Haven't really felt up to posting, trying to get back into that too. Everything is taking longer than usual though.
Ahh yeah, I totally get that. We have those here as well, but here we call them "the war zone." By we, I mean me, and by me I mean I just made it up just now haha! But yeah, we do have those here. Since most of the drivers here aren't polite, you really have to develop that killer mentality if you want to be able to pass even when they're not letting you. Some are really greedy, so people whose turn it is never really get it unless they fight for it.
Don't rush it. Just take your time with it. You'll know when you get your groove back.
