The Barn by Ralph Hagen for April 07, 2022

The statement is correct from the driving book, but Stan would just roar on through.

Stan is apparently much smarter than he looks.

Stan has apperently read the driver’s handbook and Rory hasn’t.

Rory is bombing as a driving instructor….he needs to get out the soapbox…that’s what he does best…lol

Rory – You come to a traffic light and it turns yellow. What do you do?

Stan – Prepare to stop.

Rory – Nooo. You floor it because it’s about to turn red!

Seeing that this driving school can never leave the pasture, Rory has a point.

In my state that wouldn’t help – hardly anyone knows how to manage a 4-way stop…

Back in the old days, we had to take Driver’s Education as a nine week course in school. Not too long ago there was a storm in Northeast Ohio and the electricity went out on parts of the west side of Cleveland and western suburbs. I was approaching an intersection with a traffic light that had gone out in Rocky River slowly and the car behind me was impatient because he didn’t read the Ohio Driver’s Handbook and kept honking and flashing his lights at me. He finally got agitated enough and decided to speed real fast and run the no electricity intersection in his pickup and so did the pickup truck from the left because he was also in a hurry and well, you know. Both got the shock of their lives.

Rory would just gas it.
