OK!

Since virtually all the Metbloggers have either posted or weighed in on the rampant jackassery involved in getting from point A to point B, I’m going to take a stand and lay down some rules of Conduct for the Big Blue Room.

1. Whatever your mode of transport, you will probably encounter at least two others on your route. Pay attention to your environment, one of these days someone won’t jam on their brakes or see the light change and it could be the last thing that you ever get upset about.

2. Keep in mind that you are not entitled to special treatment, nor are you above the rules that govern your particular environment. If that’s where you are, those rules apply to you. See the end of #1 for reasons why.

3. Be civil. Not stupid, not bewilderingly polite, not even nice. Be civil. However, if in doubt, yield to the other person. You might just have done the right thing. You might just make their day.

4. Remember you are human. You make mistakes. Before you honk at the bonehead in front of you (or worse), are you absolutely certain that you have never ever EVER committed exactly the same offense because you glanced at the radio or rolled down your window or just flat out spaced it?

Please feel free to add more rules to the codes of conduct. I assure you the by-laws are forthcoming.
