An open letter to certain Mercedes drivers

Dear Mercedes drivers,

You see that little stick by the steering wheel? That's an indicator. Using it gives other drivers an indication of where you're going to go next. It stops us from having to brake really heavily. Do you see what I'm driving at? Good!

Now, you see those dotted lines along the road? They're show you where the lanes are. Lanes are designed to keep the cars driving parallel - it stops them from bumping into each other. Clever, aren't they!

You know when I stop and allow an old lady to cross the road? I'm stopping for the old lady. Sometimes, I might stop to let you pull out, and you're quite welcome to pull out when I do so. But when I stop for the old lady, I'm stopping for her, not for you. You might run her over! Then your insurance would be screwed. And that would be bad.

I hope that gets things clear in your mind. I know these are trivial issues, and they don't really affect you, because you're all important and so on, but if you have a few spare minutes in between meetings, maybe you can give them some thoughts.

Lots of love,

Jim

P.S. Nice car.
