I have children with the same sort of reasoning problems.
It’s annoying in children, it’s terrifying in a truck driver hauling hazmat on our highways.
Even better when they look at the ‘No Trucks’ sign and then drive right past it, then acknowledge that they saw it but insist that I have to let them in because after all “They’re there.”
You should hear the names I get called when I tell them, “Nope. Back up. Get out of my driveway. Now.”
