driver’s seat is another
matter.
Road politeness is
not only good manners, but a good takes the most
cool-
headed
drivers great
patience to give up the desire to beat back when
forced to face rude the

to cross the road wherever and
whenever
they want to.

whose manners are faultless, told me it would help

correctly join in
a traffic stream without causing total blockages
that give rise to unpleasant
