You know how people always seem to say: “Look on the bright side!”? Well, for 6 years, I could not imagine what bright-side could possibly come from the rise of petrol prices... until today...
If you’re turning left into a street, and another car is in your lane (fully equipped with an 18-year-old P-Plate wanna-be-pilot), whose fault is it if you crash? The guy that’s in your lane of course! And it is times like this that you remember Michael J. Fox playing “chicken” in Back to the Future.
You have two choices: “sit in your lane (perfectly legal) and not move and wait for the other guy to move” or “reverse so that the other guy can use your lane to go the other way (perfectly illegal).” Or you can both just sit there and wait for a cop to arrive (hastened by a call on your mobile of course.)
It is also times like this that you are glad you have two 3-foot sparring sticks in your boot, and perhaps wishing you had a replica of a glock (real or otherwise) in the glove compartment.
But I digress.
