because if you're rear-ended and your wheels are turned, you'll be forced into oncoming traffic moving at speed. if your wheels are forward, you'll be forced into the car waiting to turn left across from you, which will result in a better outcome.

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
Erica Jong
Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau
Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.

Walter Benjamin
Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.
