Things learned

The most interesting facts gleaned from five hours of online traffic school:
- Elk are the cause of many accidents.
- The third step in passing a car is to overtake the other car. This step should be done last, not before moving into another lane. If you do these steps out of order, you will find that you have driven directly through another car in a sort of Matrix-type fashion, which would be totally awesome.
- If you have to hit an object in your path, try to hit a soft object, not a hard one. Don't aim for concrete barriers. Aim for bunnies or that pillow factory.
- A head-on collision is the worst kind of collision. Matt always thought it was the elephant-truck-hits-airplane-full-of-grapes collision.

Other facts not included, but still true:
- It is legal drive with no shoes on.
- It is legal to change lanes in an intersection.
- Matt will drive slower.

24 out of 25 on the final. Never could figure out where to look if the oncoming car has its high beams on. (To the right at the white line.)
