Except in the countries with left-hand traffic, where I assume the routes favor left-hand turns.
LOL, my mother and sister avoid left hand turns at all cost. Mom started driving in 1965.
Heck, everyone who lived in California when I lived there knew the same thing - especially in Los Angeles where they still have very few sissy lights (i.e., left turn arrows). You may have to wait several cycles to make your turn.
Ford Fusion ‘tis not a truck.... but see post #9..... :)
I can’t tell you how many times I see some dipwad in a car trying to make a left turn across traffic with a left hand turn lane from a gas station, etc. on the corner that also has an exit on the cross street where either a left-left turn (with signal) or three quick rights could save them time. Yet they just sit there demanding a dumbass left turn.
There’s a reason they have jug ear loops in New Jersey.
Oh' you are thinking much too small..
Big Gov won't be so blatant as to offer up an “allowable” route.
When the "OMVCA" ( Obama Motor vehicle Control Act) goes into effect, you will be offered a menu of options when you try and turn your car on:
Key or speak in your destination
Option 1. Walk or ride bike to destination: Earn 100 carbon credits
Option 2. Take pubic transportation: Earn 50 carbon credits
Option 3. Drive predetermined government approved route: Fee of 5 cents per mile driven
Option 4. Disregard Government mandated options: Fee of 25 cents per mile driven.
Thank you for your voluntary participation in saving our future from Climate Change.
You may now start your vehicle
Failure to pay "Fee" immediately after trip will disable your vehicle until fees are fully paid...
Haha, so funny you post that. I immediately started wondering what number was the UPS driver...
That's not how it works at all. They raise their prices to whatever they want. They make huge profits. They don't pay their workers any money. Then they dump chemicals into reservoirs after they kick puppies.
I feel vindicated. My family has made fun of me for years because I plan my routes to avoid left turns unless there’s a left turn light. It seemed like defensive driving common sense.
They also never, at least almost never, back up. That’s pretty self explanatory but it’s a good policy for everyone. If you must reverse do it in as short a space as possible.
And slowly!!
FedEx and UPS are merging. They will be called FedUp.
I worked in Montgomery, Al for 2 years. That is the most unfriendly left hand turn area I’ve ever been in. Trust me, you’ll go out of your way to avoid left turns.
That scenario is so likely to come true.
Sad but very likely.
UPS is properly pronounced “OOPS” based on the quality of their service. And the particular color of brown they paint their trucks is also highly appropriate.
A company that continues to go in circles will never grow beyond its current scope. It takes courage to venture out and make a left hand turn, it is neither a waste nor folly.
I remember when UPS came out with this several years ago, so I’ve sorta watched....the local drivers in our area turn left as often as they turn right.
Capitalism and innovative thinking at its finest.
