Keep honking, I am reloading!

When I was in college, I took a course called English Advertisement. In that course, we had to study and analysis English Advertisements. It was a wonderful and interesting class. However, one day, I read a slogan from the book; it said, "Keep honking, I am reloading!" It's a sticker that people can stick it on their cars. At that time, I thought Americans were all crazy drivers, and they would take out their guns when they drive; therefore, I keep reminding myself that do not piss any of them off. Nevertheless, as long as I live in this country, I know I was wrong.

Although I drove to school everyday in college, I don't drive in here. I love driving, and I also love to observe how people drive. As I observed, I think Americans sometimes drive as fast as turtles. In contrast, Taiwanese don't drive but race, especially in the big cities. Thus, Taiwanese definitely drive more crazy than Americans do. Moreover, unlike Americans, most of time, Taiwanese are very mean when they drive. It seems like people suddenly turn to be blind, once they get in the cars. They don't watch the traffic lights or signals carefully. They don't yield each other, but they yell at each other.

There is one scene shows Americans' driving habits that made me very impressive. That is, when a car wants to make a turn, other cars behind it will stop and wait for him patiently. For example:

(A car wants to turn left. B, C, and D will wait for A patiently.)

The same situation in Taiwan, A driver must to have lots of guts to do so; otherwise, B,C, and D will keep honking it or change lane immediately. Nobody wants to wait, and nobody will wait. To my surprise, Americans will wait.

Sometimes, I don't understand what's wrong with my people. They are so easy to get angry, especially when they are driving. Although we usually say to each other, "Safe drive, drive safely", what we really did is "Crazy drive, drive crazily."
