RE: Traffic Koans [Day 3]
ENLIGHTENED!!!
Hahaha! You know, one of my inspirations for doing this contest was something quite similar that happened to me recently. The other lane just poured out even though there was already a build up in my lane. The incoming vehicles were being signaled to stop and give way, but they paid no mind. When the others on the opposite lane finally stopped, there was just one errant car that sought to defy the odds. Thankfully, an SUV charged towards him, much like how the big truck in your story stood for, and the others followed him amidst the harsh rain. The errant car had no choice but to reverse. I would like to think that everyone in my lane cheered.
Oh, and that SUV, that was driven by none other than... yours truly :D
It takes the bulk of an SUV to really make a difference, and to thoroughly block the lane-- I'm sure the crowds were cheering! There are still heroes in the world after all.
At the very least, I'm just happy that justice was served that night. We met at the middle, so there really wasn't a clear cut winner, except that my lane followed my charge while his knew to stay behind and let us pass.
