Actually there are a few more rules than that. For example: [1] Every other driver is your enemy. This is rule #1 - never forget it. [2] It's okay to go the wrong way down a one-way street provided you drive in reverse. (Corollary: If you miss your exit on the S.E. Expressway, just go on to the entrance ramp and reverse down it.) [3] Never give signals (except the finger, which is mandatory). It only gives information away to the enemy. [4] Each red light and stop sign is a test. If you stop, you've failed. [5] If you can't get Tip O'Neill to fix your traffic tickets, you are NOBODY and you might as well move back to wherever you came from.
