[Two weeks in both rural and urban areas of the Land of Fruits and Nuts
(California) have given me new insights into rules for driving. All of them
observed by drivers around me.]
**When using a metered entrance ramp on I-5, vehicles in the carpool lane do
not need to stop. Similarly, vehicles NOT in the diamond lane also do not
need to stop.
**If, at any time, you have witnessed a green light, it is okay to proceed
through the intersection, regardless of the current color of the light.
**The shoulder becomes a lane if you are driving a Porsche.
**If you paid more than $60,000 for your car, you automatically have the
right of way, regardless of the situation. This is especially applicable in
parking lots.
**Drive as quickly as possible through parking structures. Pass any open
spot by at least four car lengths before backing up to claim it. Disregard
the angry mob that has formed behind you.
**Get to know your horn. Use it as often as possible.
**While driving on the 405 freeway and talking on your cell phone, alternate
between 45 and 100 MPH. This is especially effective if driving in the fast
lane.
**Remember, in California every lane is the suicide lane.
