[More driving tips from my weeks observing California drivers]
**If you miss your exit, no worries. Just cut across six lanes of traffic
and drive over the divider. If you really weren’t supposed to cross it, they
would make it out of concrete instead of little yellow markers.
**For parking purposes, all SUVs are compact cars. Honest.
**Always set the alarm to its most sensitive setting before leaving your car
in a parking ramp.
**During rush hour, drivers should pass the time by reading Deepak Chopra or
L. Ron Hubbard, and practice inner peace when cut off by a Mercedes.
**To calculate the proper speed limit on the freeway, subtract your age from
100. Double this number if your car has dual exhaust. Conversely, add your
age to 100 if you are driving on Pacific Coast Highway near Big Sur or
suffering from a midlife crisis.
**Never use your turn signal, unless of course you are on the freeway with
no intention of merging. Then leave it on for 12 miles, turning if off only
when you really are going to make a turn.
**Totally disregard on-coming traffic. They aren’t going your direction
anyway.
**If there are already three cars stopped at a four way stop, accelerate
immediately. Otherwise, one of those cars might go ahead of you!
