no traffic in Greater Boston, highway or local, would move for all the people getting tickets.


I was pulled over next to ritsy Dartmouth College in Hanover NH (which has students that qualify as diverse but all driving very new cars) for "not having signalled for long enough". But then the cop saw that though very curly-haired & driving an old car (at that time), I look too white to get a ticket for that. Instead I got an absurd driving-etiquette lecture, to which I said "yes officer". But before that I said "but I'd have missed my turn", which if I were someone other could have been too much to say.

Where I live a turn signal is to let other drivers know to speed up and block you from getting where you want to go.

Is it still arm straight out for a left turn, arm bent upward for a right turn? --Bob

If I tried to bend my arm that far down I'm afraid it would break. --Bob
