| Question: How do I solve my dilemma and start driving? Posted: 16 Nov 2015 01:33 AM PST You have a lack of friends. (Yes, I know, if you only had a car you could drive to places where you could find friends.) You must know a few people who have the same interests that you do. Years ago I provided driving lessons for people in our local science-fiction club. Indeed, the same club also provided lessons in "how to use chopsticks" at a local Chinese restaurant. We would take the victim to the restaurant with a prior arrangement with the owner that there would be no silverware, just chopsticks. "I want a knife and fork." The people to help you are out there. Heck, I would, but you're 3000 miles away.  |

She's an adult and should be perfectly capable of successfully making a road trip on her own or with the child. PLENTY of adults make road trips alone. PLENTY of adults make road trips with a child (or children) and no other adult. She needs to split the trip up across 2 days (not try to drive straight through) but otherwise, there's no reason to make an issue of it. Unless you all decide not to attend the funeral. I personally don't know many people who attend the funeral of distant cousins. |
| Question: Should I let my wife drive 15 hrs away for a cousins funeral with my 5 year old daughter.? Posted: 15 Nov 2015 04:52 PM PST If she's the one afraid of planes and you're the one afraid of car crashes, then it makes more sense for her to drive and you to fly than the other way around. Also, a car is less likely to crash when a woman is driving than when a man is driving. And a 15-hour drive is probably mostly on major highways, which are much safer than short drives on local streets to buy groceries or commute to and from work. |

| Question: I had a minor car accident. I didn’t call the police. But should I …? Posted: 15 Nov 2015 01:16 PM PST Hi, I had a minor car accident today. I was driving on the main road at normal speed (no traffic light and no stop sign in my direction), and the other car just came out from a crossroad without a full stop at the stop sign. I applied brake, but still hit the other car very lightly. I had some scratches on the front bumper, and the other car had minor body damage. It's very obvious to me that it was the other car's fault. But the driver (a girl) started to take picture of my car and yell at me. So I took some pictures of the scene and her car as well. Her car looks new and only has a temporary license plate, so I took a pic of her temp tag. Since I believe it's her fault, and my car's damage is very minor, I was willing to let it go. So after taking some pictures, I just drove away without speaking to her. (at first she was yelling at me like it's my fault. So I was very angry and yelled back…) But now in retrospect, I am a little worried that the girl might tell her version of the story to the police and get me into trouble. Am I worried too much? Attached is the pic I took. The pic shows exactly where her car was when it happened. My car backup up a little after the hit. Again there is no traffic light or stop sign in my direction. The crossroad she came out from has a stop sign (highlighted in red circle). Should I have any concerns? What should be the correct action after something like this happens? Thanks for any comments! |

This means yield to any and all traffic. If there is nobody coming, you may take your turn. More and more people lack the ability to understand that a solid green light (circle) for a left turn does not necessarily mean you can go. It's generally meaning left turn yield to oncoming traffic. There's often signs saying this but people see green and speed through intersections causing accidents. Both the yellow flashing arrow and green circle mean the same thing for left turns. A green arrow means that all traffic that could cross your path has a red light and you may turn as you have been given the right of way. As for the other answers, they are correct assuming you have a yellow flashing dot. This is simply a caution light informing you that there is an intersection that generally sees a decent amount of traffic. It is also letting you know that the other directions have either a flashing red light or a stop sign (or both) A flashing red has an identical meaning to a stop sign. In this case, approach the intersection with caution, but do not stop. |
