The moral of this story -- Alway drive defensively as you never know what you will encounter  |
Good advice, and not just for TV.
Drive here long enough and you see some really strange sights on the roads and streets. Guy backing up in a roundabout so he could take the exit he just missed...some cowboy taking using the ditch as a passing lane on El Camino Real so he could pass a car in the right lane that apparently wasn't going fast enough for him...Guy in a golf cart going about 5 mph with a white blind cane strapped to the back...somebody using up FOUR parking spots at Publix...numerous instances of people blowing stop signs and red lights...
Moral of the story: know what is going on not only in front of you but in the back and on both sides at all times. Being right in TV is go guarantee of staying safe.
