How to Survive Driving in Southern California

The day begins. You walk out of LAX into the Rental Car garage where the attendant hands you the keys. The place is unusually quiet as you stride across to the waiting vehicle, sitting idle in a bay. You press the key, the doors unlock and toss your luggage into the trunk. The ignition fires up, and you slowly leave. At the exit a banner reads "Welcome to California, Please Drive Safely."



Apparently, you're the only person who has ever read it.

Instructions

  1. Commuting

    • 1

      The Morning Commute.

      Reversing out of your driveway will be the fastest part of the drive into work.

    • 2

      The Afternoon Commute.

      Rush hour starts at 9am and finishes 10 minutes after you get home.

    • 3

      Speed Limits.

      Taunts only. There's no way you'll be doing double digit speeds anywhere.

    Driving in General

    • 4

      Speed Limits.

      There are only two speeds available, dead stop or flat out.

      Stay out of the fast lane, drivers would rather run over you then slow down.

    • 5

      Wet Weather.

      The possibility of rain exponentially increases the speed limit. Drivers are allowed to dodge rain droplets.

      Drivers will follow much closer then before in order to avoid getting their tires wet.

    • 6

      Turn Signals.

      Optional extras fitted to most vehicles, never used.

      'Flipping' another driver off only counts as a late "signal".

    • 7

      Merging.

      No such adjective. Substitute the words "barging" or "cutting off".

      (Refer to step 3 for appropriate signal.)

    • 8

      Drive Thru Windows.

      Hungry? Menus in English, orders only accepted in Spanish.

    • 9

      Parking.

      And you thought the price of gas was high. Pre approved credit required.
