Wait, does that actually read “DO NOT USE”?
Why? Brake lights should be dedicated and red. Turn signals should be separate and amber.
I always feel a little unsure as a guest in someone else’s home. I want to be as polite as possible, and that can…
Then you should kill him and eat his heart.... to gain his driving courage.... his rich, tasty driving courage.
Sorry, I’m doing this wrong. All I can remember is this very good advice my dad gave me:
It seems like this is 100% about context. In American Sign Language, that’s the sign for the number 9, or a slightly modified F depending on how you wanted to look at it.

- Doesn’t apply to you, but in a hilly area constantly letting 3,000lbs+ of car rest on the parking pawl is just not good for the long life of the transmission. The risk isn’t really that the pawl fails to latch but that it bends or jams such that it can’t be taken out of park.
“People who stop way back from the line, and all the way to the right, and block a super-wide lane that normally leaves plenty of room for you to make a right turn on red from next to them.”
“In fact, I often have had problems if I ever tried using the parking brake in an automatic. Either the brake does nothing, or the cables are froze up enough that the brake does not release. (Winters and salty roads are not nice to parking brake cables).”

People who don’t use the parking brake “because it’s an automatic, and that’s what ‘Park’ is for.” Not only does it annoy the shit out of me, but it annoys the shit out of them when I borrow their car, park it properly, and then they drive 30 miles with the parking brake on.
