Day 60 - A Post from Awhile Back

Here's a post from awhile back.  Turning Cars 

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

One of my favorite things to do while driving is to watch cars on my right turn in front of me into the lane on my left.  From the photo, consider yourself vehicle A.  The yellow car is vehicle B (and nevermind the X in the photo.  That is nothing.).  :)

Alright, so let’s say vehicle B is turning left from their lane into the lane on your left, right next to you.  It is in these situations that you can observe some of the greatest facial expressions you have ever seen.  For some reason, the shift in balance of the vehicle combined with with the speed of the vehicle creates a priceless momentary image of individuals frozen in time while driving their vehicles.  Within in each frozen image, individuals looked at carefully during these moments contain a different facial expression which brings oneself a sense of hilarity.

Consider a snowflake.  These “left hand turning expressions” are much like snowflakes; no “left-hand turning expression” is identical to any other.  Some people are wearing sunglasses, some are talking on their cell phones, and some are simply trying their very best to make it back home after a long day at work.  Regardless of the situation, the image developed within these “left hand turning” experiences are incredibly worthwhile to witness.  What makes these moments even more exhilarating is when you have a series of vehicles turning in the left-hand lane next to you.  Then there is a slideshow of of images that make the laughter go on for minutes after the vehicles have passed you by.

I truly hope this makes sense. Someday, I hope to make a video demonstrating exactly what I mean so people have a simple way to entertain themselves while driving.  If you do understand, try it yourself!  The next time you witness a car turning to the left in front of you, look at the driver, and the next two or three or four drivers after, and be prepared for a little laughter.  :)  Their facial expressions are hilarious!!!
