Entire city collectively forgets how to drive

DAN SCHMIDT

With the unprecedented event of what is scientifically known as “water falling from the sky”, Adelaide motorists have evidently just completely forgotten how to drive all together this morning.

Although the so called ‘skills’ of Adelaide motorists have every been anything to admire, it seems that a small amount of clear liquid on Adelaide streets is enough to entirely erode all sense of spacing, velocity and even common knowledge.

Adelaide Mail reporters interviewed an average South Australian driver, Moe Trist, along his commute.

‘It’s very strange, usually I’m almost capable of getting myself to where I need to be, but this morning for some reason I just didn’t know what to do’ said Moe.

‘Once I finally figured out how to get the thing started and down the street, I just had to stop there for no apparent reason. Then I finally managed to get on the freeway and just decided I’d go 40 k’s under the speed limit in the right lane, which is almost 20 k’s slower than what I usually do’.

‘Anyway, I’m running late, and must be off’ concluded Moe as he started reversing up the wrong side of Glen Osmond Road.
