vehicle or an assault precipitated by an incident that occurred on a
roadway.

What is Monkey Meter All About?
Monkey Meter reports the current level of road rage for your city, and for the entire United States. Experienced drivers know that some days
there are more aggressive drivers on the road, and it's not just Fridays
with a full moon.
Why Monkeys?
When getting stuck behind a really slow, unattentive driver, I called them knuckle draggers. I would imagine a giant ape with one arm out the window, dragging of course, and druel dripping out of his slack jaw. Guess I should have called it Gorilla Meter.

My Rules of the Road
|
- Pay attention.
- Pay attention.
- Remind your self to pay attention.
- Don't bother trying to pass. Only pass when you know you can.
- If you think you are a good driver, then you must drive a lot. If you drive a lot, remind yourself odds are against you for avoiding an accident. Pay attention.
- No one drives like you.
- Don't hit anything...anything.
- Blinkers are a tool. Don't use because it's the law, use them to your advantage. Also, don't use them to ask to make a maneuver. You either can or not, and blinkers will help others become aware of your intent.
- If you tailgate, I know you do not know how to drive because you are assuming the other driver is as good as you.
- Do what you want, but don't do it to me.
