The simple things you never knew

When my exit has the number 40 and the numbers go 50... 49... 48 everything is fine. If it is 43... 44... 45 I´m obviously driving in the wrong direction.
I think they don´t tell you that in driving school because it´s so extremely easy to get.

I thought that was normal? Unless I've misread it, its the same in England.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I always wondered about this one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
