New York Driving Rules

Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Long Island

driver never uses them. Use of them in Massapequa may be illegal.

Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between

you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled

in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered

"going with the flow."

The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance

you have of getting hit.

Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork.

Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensurhat your

ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake

pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance

to stretch your legs.

Electronic traffic warning signs are not there to provide useful

information. They are only there to make Long Island look

high-tech, and to distract you from seeing the state police

radar car parked on the median.

Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.

Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions,

and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident,

or even if someone is just changing a tire.

Throwing litter on the roads adds color to the landscape and

gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.

It is assumed that state police cars passing at high speed

may be followed in the event you need to make up a few

minutes on your way to work, or the beach.

Heavy snow, ice, fog, and rain are no reasons to change any

of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are

God's way of ensuring a natural selection process for body

shops, junkyards, and new vehicle sales.

I am convinced that if I am following someone slow and am about to turn, using my signal ensures the slow person will stay in front of me and make that same turn. But if I fake to the other side, the slow car turns then I whip around, signal and make my turn and lose the slow bastard. BTW, fawkin conversion vans are the SCOURGE of the roadways!!! Slow pieces of shit can't manuever their way out of a paper bag, no less around the streets

you forgot the biggest one of them all.

When there is no one in the right or middle lane you must stay in the left lane of the appropriate highway. (Sunrise, Southern State Parkway, LIE) and procede to do 60 so that no one can pass you, you wouldnt want anyone to ruin your drive now would you!
