RESPECT

Nothing is stopping you from driving wherever you like. In the eastbound lane. In the westbound lane. On the sidewalk? Nothing, really.

Nothing except common sense and a mutual desire not to be smashed.

Sure there is a little white or yellow line down the middle of the road, but that won’t stop a car very easily. What is stopping us all from crossing it is an unspoken understanding: “I won’t smash into you, if you don’t smash into me.” The line is only a tool to help us define the boundary.

Use common sense and understanding. Even when there is no visible line, there are lines we all must respect, crossing over which would be like smashing into other people.
