Not Your Problem

Today, I have a quick note about driving for my fellow citizens. If you live in a major metropolitan area, like Houston, with many, many divided interstates and highways, here’s a handy rule of thumb. Whatever is happening on the other side of the jersey barriers is not your problem unless it comes over the barriers onto your side of the freeway. If that’s the case, you’re pretty much screwed anyway. So relax and enjoy your commute untroubled by the thoughts of what is unfolding on the stretch of concrete opposite yours, mmkay?

More bluntly, quit slowing down whenever something happens on the other side of the freeway, you morons.
