Day 19

Crossed what just may be the mother of all intersections today. It had left turn lanes, right turn lanes, several straight lanes, I swear there were lanes coming out of lanes! Hearing this behemoth was enough to make me shake in my blindfold. Not to mention the fact that I had to actually step out into it.

The dedicated right turn lanes really messed me up. If there were cars turning there at the start of the light cycle, I had to wait for the next one in order to cross with my parallel traffic, as it is not safe to cross in the middle of a light cycle because the traffic turning has not seen you waiting.

Well, needless to say I made it, but not before my instructor said, "ok, we went around clockwise, now let's go back around counterclockwise!" I about had a conniption. Are you kidding me?! Confused? See below:

Hissie Fit: A sudden outburst of anger at something trivial.
Conniption Fit: A fit of anger expressed with words AND bodily gestures.

Oh yeah, I was about to be yelling and gesturing all over the place! I managed to keep calm and "swing it and bring it" on all 4 sides of the intersection without being molded into a road cookie.
Oh yeah!
