Not-so-common knowledge...

I wanted to start a thread about things that you think everyone should know, but people seem not to know. For example:

As most of you know, I'm a cop. If there's one thing that really bothers me at work, it's how people drive when a patrol car, with its lights and sirens on, comes up behind them. Some people will just stop dead in the lane, some people swerve like their being attacked by killer bees, but few actually pull over to the right side of the road as they are supposed to. Here's the bigger problem... when you pull over to the right, STOP YOUR DAMN CAR. There have been several times when I have had to make a right turn from the left lane, but have been unable to because some assclown in a Mazda is driving right along side of me. This happened to a partner of mine a few years back... that story is called "How the community of Forestville got a new brick wall."

Long story short: When you see a patrol car driving down the road with lights and sirens, pull to the right and STOP. (Of course, this applies only in countries where you drive on the right side of the road. I don't know what you are expected to do in countries where several letters of the alphabet are often stuck together)

Go ahead, share your "not-so-common knowledge".
