Driving In the City - A Quiz

You're the white car in the following illustration:

Traffic is stop-and-go, and you're currently stopped. The traffic light changes from green to yellow rapidly on the way to red. Do you...

a.) Stop and patiently wait for the next green light
b.) Rush ahead knowing that you'll block the opposing traffic
c.) Pretend not to notice
d.) Curse

Many drivers are faced with this decision every day. It seems like I get to either make this decision, or watch someone else make it every time I drive in the city (the city being anywhere in the United States with a population over 50,000 these days). Unfortunately, very few people get the correct answer. So here's a little cheat sheet for you.

If you answered "A" above:
Congratulations -- you got it right. Tell your friends and family, and explain to them why they are idiots for not doing this. Then go see your doctor for a prescription to Xanax.

If you answered "B" above:
Not only are you overly aggressive, you also like to screw other people. By blocking the box, you force opposing traffic to wait for you. Like you're that important! You deserve a ticket, and an STD.

If you answered "C" above:
You're in the same category as the people who chose "B", but you're also weak and pathetic.

If you answered "D" above:
You're a lot like me. Maybe we should sit down over a beer and plot our revenge against the "B" and "C" people.
