Driving test

Here's a driving quiz for all of you. Needs only to be taken by people who drive obnoxiously large SUV's.

You know the ones I'm talking about. As far as I'm concerned, unless you're a contractor or hauling horses, you don't really need any car bigger than a minivan or a Jeep Grand Cherokee. And at least Jeeps are fairly narrow, so you can see past them, even though they're tall. Which brings me to the exam question...

The setting is a straight, narrow, 2 lane country road, with a broken single yellow stripe (Approved passing zone) . The minimum speed limit for this road is 55 mph, and you are behind a PT Cruiser which is doing 35mph. The proper response to this situation is:

a) Check carefully down the clear mile of road to be sure no cars are coming in oncoming traffic, put on your left directional, and then accelerate to the speed pass quickly, then put on your right directional to return to your proper lane.

b) assume that the PT Cruiser has a very good reason for going 35mph, and creep along talking on your cell phone, despite the fact that your SUV is very WIDE and the VW behind you cannot see past you, while 10-15 cars slow down to 35mph behind you. Hurrah! We are all in the PT Crusier parade at 8:45 at night!

People are dumb.

Also:

North Carolina (or at least, the county I'm in) got new school buses this year, and they are hideously horrible. They look like the Little Tikes Schoolbus-which-looked-like-a-yellow-minivan bus.

Oh and there's a smexy yellow NB parking all the time near me at school. Mmmm mmmm baby, do you want some sugar?
