Well I guess this thread calls for me to promulgate the “official” parking/driving rules for NYC and any similar congested area.
1. It is forbidden to pull out of a parking space into oncoming traffic irregardless if said traffic is seemingly ceaseless as you are thereby “cutting off” other vehicles. You must remain parked for eternity!
2. If you violated rule #1 and pulled out in defiance of common decency and you now arrived at your destination, it is strictly forbidden to parallel park as your will be blocking traffic and will be amply rewarded with a cantankerous cacophony of blaring horns.
3. When driving on a two way street you can never make a left turn as you will be blocking traffic. You must only make right turns even if you will never arrive at your destination.
4. When driving on a highway it is forbidden to change lanes even if you will miss your exit since you will be “cutting off” other vehicles again.
5. When driving on the highway it is forbidden to drive in the left lane unless you maintain a minimum speed of 90 mph. Anything less and you will be impeding the flow of traffic and you will be brighted and/or pushed out of the lane.
Happy Driving/Parking
Please add any missing rules.
