There’s a street I cross in the morning that becomes a clearway during commute hours. I take a grim satisfaction in watching the tow trucks take away yank tanks, because of course their humans believe the rules apply to everyone but them.

A yank tank / wank tank is any SUV or pickup that is larger than the tanks we used to beat the Nazis (not joking)
