I wasn't in the right lane to take a turn I needed, so ended up driving through the CBD. In peak hour. I managed not to run over any pedestrians, scooter riders or delivery bikes. I also survived a hook turn.

I don’t often drive in the city, but when I do I’m always shocked by the number of food delivery scooters and bikes. Why get delivery when all you need to do is go down the lift and walk a block or 2? Would be a good reason to stretch your legs. I live in the burbs so walkable city convenience seems pretty fancy to me.

I did my first hook turn last year!
