Watch Out, Someone Has Just Let Loose!




The Official NZ Road Code, p.286:

“Q: When a flock of sheep are coming towards you on a country road, what should you do?
 A: Greet them with a friendly BOA~~”

All right, I made the answer up obliviously. The correct answer is, you should stop the car immediately and start counting the sheep.

I passed the driver license written test yesterday. Although the officer refused to award me with any prizes for my full mark - even not a lollipop, she promised to talk to her supervisor. And later I learned that the driving tests here are intentionally designed to be very difficult so that they can fail people and make more money with repeating tests. They are in a bit of a financial struggle apparently, which probably explained why they offered me the membership every time I went there.

But they do have something to worry about even though they are not aware of it and I pray they will never find out. The thing is, I’m not as road-worthy as they might like to think. I don’t really drive. I just crawl while bumping into everything. But I never hit any moving targets. I only hit still targets like garage walls and parked cars. In fact, cars and pedestrians are safe with me as long as they keep running. I won’t be able to catch them anyway.

So watch out and keep moving, here I come!
