 rules of the road: charleston

- after a light turns red, you have 3 seconds to clear the intersection.
-if you brake for a yellow light, you WILL be rear-ended
-after 9pm you don't have to pay attention to stoplights at ALL
-sirens and stop signs are only suggestions
-you must either travel at one standard deviation above or below the posted speed limit
-you can't turn from the turn lane; you must be one lane over
-if a turn signal is on, it just means it works, not that a car is actually turning
-screw courtesy, block the intersection
-if you look in your blind spot before you merge, you'll lose your chance. just go.
-pedestrians have no rights.  invest  in some good running shoes.
-there is no such thing as an unprotected green light.
-I think the legal limit for BAC is 0.8, not 0.08
