“Did I ever tell you about the time I drove in Mexico?”
By Pixel. Filed in slice of life |
So I drove in Australia yesterday. Yup. Me. After that mysterious and carefully ignored incident, I didn’t think anyone would be stupid enough to let me drive, but alas, someone was too tired to know better and let me.It’s funny because I
- had no license
- was wearing glasses that only gave me 20/40 vision
- didn’t know the rules of the road (as I proved quite accidentally by not yielding when I should have)
- was not legally allowed to drive in that country
- hadn’t driven in a loooooong time
- was driving at night,
- –on the other side of the road–
- didn’t really know where to go
- in a car that I was not used to
- –that wasn’t mine–
- and I was on the other side of the car.
It’s insane that I drove like that and even more insane that I didn’t kill us all. Next time I’ll pilot a space shuttle while wearing a blindfold.

And I thought I was a bad driver. Warn me when you’re going to fly the space shuttle so I can get somewhere safe.
