Please Press the Gas Pedal
I just have to write this quick little tidbit in regards to what I wrote earlier about how to save gas. Tip number five says to accelerate slowly. Apparently I wasn’t clear enough about this.
There is one very distinct time that I do not want you in front of me taking your time accelerating and that is when you’re merging onto the freeway. When you’re entering the freeway, please press the gas pedal down all the way and GO with the flow of traffic. Not doing so is very dangerous for you and anyone behind you.
Just this morning I was trying to get on the freeway and the guy in front of me was doing about 35 mph. I’m stuck, the lane is ending and all I see in my rear view mirror is a car bearing down on me at 75 mph. Can’t change lanes so I have to close my eyes and wish for the best. Luckily the car behind me was able to change lanes so I was safe, but the guy in front of me was completely clueless and finally sped up to a whopping 40 mph. Needless to say, I knew I had to come home and write this so I could clarify myself.
So here is one time I do not want you to try to save money, gas or anything else. Waste your gas and keep yourself from getting killed.
And now for my next tip: how to proceed at a four way stop. Ok, only kidding, but I really would LOVE to teach some people how to drive.
