If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you might remember a series of posts I used to run when I was commuting to work. And you might recognize the sign to the right. Well, since the fall of 2019, two things happened. 1) I drive a lot less because I retired, and 2) Drivers around here have gotten a lot worse since the pandemic.
Like me, you may remember learning that you can proceed through an intersection if you have a green light. If the light turns yellow, you can proceed with caution, if you can clear the intersection before the light turns red. If the light is red, you stop.
Today’s version seems to be. If the light is yellow, decide if you’re going through the intersection and adjust your speed (up or down) accordingly. If the light is red, ignore it, if you decided to proceed when the light turned yellow. If the light is green, be careful. Thus my first one-liner:
The most dangerous part of your driving adventure is when you’re approaching an intersection where your light just turned green.
The image below is of an on-ramp where I enter the highway. It’s controlled by a light. I was the second of three cars approaching the light as the left-arrow appeared for us to turn onto the ramp. As the first car approached the intersection, a large truck flew off the ramp and turned left.
When I told this story to my brother and mentioned that I’d likely use it for a one-liner Wednesday post. He had a caveat:
“If you’re going to post that under your ‘Bat Sh*t Crazy Drivers’ theme, you need to apologize to bats.”
This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner, and would like to join in on the fun, you can follow this link to participate and to see the one-liners from the other participants.
Note: Today begins a week of light blogging (and blog reading) for me. I will have a post on Saturday that will include an announcement of an upcoming special guest, and I’ll try to share some photos for Cee’s Fun Foto challenge on Monday. Otherwise, I may be absent. I hope you all have a great week. I will have a placeholder post for Thursday Doors – just in case someone wants to post.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
