2022-03-20: Pittsburgh Driver's Test                         rak
================================================================

Grex has a random fortune displayed as part of its motd. When I
logged in today, I was greeted by this fortune. Having just
lived six years in Pittsburgh, it made me chuckle:

                       Pittsburgh Driver's Test

(8) Pedestrians are

   (a) irrelevant.
   (b) communists.
   (c) a nuisance.
   (d) difficult to clean off the front grille.

The correct answer is (a).  Pedestrians are not in cars, so
they are totally irrelevant to driving; you should ignore
them completely.

                            -.-.-

Addendum: When I logged in this morning (2022-03-21), I was
greeted by this related fortune:

                       Pittsburgh Driver's Test

(7) The car directly in front of you has a flashing right tail
   light but a steady left tail light.  This means

   (a) one of the tail lights is broken; you should blow your
       horn to call the problem to the driver's attention.
   (b) the driver is signaling a right turn.
   (c) the driver is signaling a left turn.
   (d) the driver is from out of town.

The correct answer is (d).  Tail lights are used in some foreign
countries to signal turns.
