The Non-Facebook Post #94

The Long-Distance Driving Diaries

1. So, I've seen this road sign in the BMV manual I diligently read to absorb as much as I can to be a safe driver  -





This was one of those signs that I thought I would never ever come across while driving. Well, on my most recent long-distance road trips, I did come across this road sign on country roads.

Then again, I thought the sign is there but it might not actually mean anything or have a purpose in today's age. BUT, on my road trip today passing through country roads and this sign, I saw a buggy - an actual horse-drawn buggy - in traffic on the opposite side of the road.
How cool!


2. Driving across these same country roads, after the exciting buggy-spotting, there was this other minor incident. A driver of a truck had his vehicle parked on the opposite road shoulder. He jumped out, ran across the road, picked up a water bottle from my side of the road shoulder and ran back to his vehicle. All while I was hurtling toward him at 55 mph and about 500 feet away. Gosh!

3. Long-distance driving is hard on one's bottom!

4. I think I'm a more aware driver when I've suspended thinking and just go with the flow. Sigh - I don't know what to make of this.
