New Exit

We have a newly designed expressway interchange in our community. It’s somewhat unusual but really not at all difficult to drive through. You follow the signs, obey the traffic lights. Stuff like that. So the Department of Transportation decided to hold a class to help people learn how to drive through the interchange. Wait. What? A class to learn how to drive through an interchange? You read that right. I heard 39 people showed up. Who were these people? Should they really be driving? How can this not just be the Department of Transportation having some fun with us? I would have loved to have been there for the Q & A. The Q & A should have been directed at these attenders:

•          “Why are you attending a class to learn about how to drive through an interchange?” Or,
•          “The fact that you attended this class indicates you should not likely be driving.” And,
•          “Can you please leave your driver’s licenses in the basket by the door when you leave? The bus will take you home.”
