So, last week I had to go to the DMV to get a new license. Like any other driver, I was thrilled to learn I wouldn't have retake the quiz because the random questions with distances, etc. are just plain annoying. HOWEVER, a crash last night slightly changed my opinion.

A woman driving a UHaul turned into a car traveling south on Thomas Betts Parkway because, according to witnesses, she turned when her light went from red to a blinking yellow arrow. The collision is not the first at the intersection of Benvenue and Thomas Betts, and it isn't the first likely caused by a driver confused by the flashing yellow arrow.

I guess the questions on the driver's test don't seem so silly in light of drivers making mistakes like this. Not like I'm the greatest driver out there, but I think every driver should be aware of what signs and signals mean. If you don't know, always err on the side of caution.
