Who is more foolish, the fool? or the fool who follows the fool the wrong way down a one way street?
I really have to start taking notice of things like road signs and traffic lights - last night was the second time in two days I’ve driven up the wrong way down the Limbe one way system - although I do love the open mouthed expressions of the folk passing by, I appreciate it’s not something I should find entertaining.
The thing with driving in the third world is that I really am perfect for it - I can drive through red lights, rear up on to the pavements, overtake on corners and generally ignore the rules of the road and other drivers - that’s how I drive out here as that is how everyone else drives out here - reverting back to the norm in the Western world is impossible once you’ve enjoyed the freedom of making up the rules yourself.
Of course rules are there for a reason - like one way signs - and I’ve always said, rules are more for the guidance of the wise and the obedience of fools.
But I think this is a phrase that should apply more to such things as drinking licensing hours than driving.
