Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do

When was the last time you saw a UPS truck in the left turn lane? Not for a long time, right? A-HA! I thought so! It turns out that UPS decided that its drivers would avoid making left handed turns and announced this decision in 2004. Apparently, the time spent idling was costing them millions each year due to fuel costs. They even developed software that maps customized routes for each driver in order to minimize their left turns.
Now, I’m sitting here thinking about how I can save a few drops of gas by cutting down on my left turns. Which reminds me, I need to find a good mechanic this afternoon. Rats!
