If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

As you drive away from the city, the urban scenery gradually fades away, and buildings become fewer and fewer. Once you get onto the national highway, vast farmlands come into view.

"These corns are growing quite well..."

As Gu Yin expected, these celebrities were all very interested in the so-called pastoral scenery, and they got quite excited when they saw a cornfield.

"Hey~" Gu Yin started being cheeky again: "Wow, that's surprising, you actually know Yumi?"

"...Who doesn't know corn?!" Xia Qianyi's forehead was covered in black lines, and she said, "Do you even consider me a human being?"

Everyone knows corn!

“No, these are corn seedlings…” Gu Yin laughed and said frankly, “It’s really surprising that you could recognize them.”

In the north, where Gu Yin and his family live, corn is usually planted in mid-to-late April and harvested in mid-to-late September. Now it's mid-May, and the corn planted last month has already sprouted. Although the seedlings of various crops are different, from this distance, they are just a patch of green. Even Gu Yin, who doesn't farm year-round, couldn't recognize them. Gu Yin was also puzzled as to how Xia Qianyi recognized them.

"I saw it in a video before..." Xia Qianyi explained casually, seemingly not wanting to elaborate, and simply changed the subject by asking, "Do you like corn?"

"Hmm, how should I put it..." Gu Yin rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said frankly, "I love corn just like I love small animals."

"?" Xia Qianyi's forehead creased with a question mark, and she asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

"We should try our best to make sure we don't miss any meals," Gu Yin explained.

Xia Qianyi: "(╬￣ Pan￣)"

"Do you think you're funny?!" Xia Qianyi shouted angrily from inside the car.

Gu Yin laughed heartily, completely disregarding it.

To be honest, it feels really nice to be out and about doing nothing; Gu Yin was completely relaxed.

Especially now that I drive my own car...

There was something Gu Yin didn't tell Xia Qianyi, and that was that the other day when he drove Xia Qianyi's car, those luxury cars, no matter how much Gu Yin brags about them, he actually felt awkward about them himself.

no way……

On the one hand, Gu Yin had never driven a luxury car since he was a child. He didn't know if it was because he was used to being poor since childhood, but even if he had money, he wouldn't dare to spend it. He hadn't even bought himself a few decent clothes. Driving a luxury car always gave him a strange feeling. Even if there were no cars in front of him, he wouldn't dare to step on the gas pedal freely...

On the other hand, it's also because it's someone else's car.

If you damage someone else's car, wouldn't they be upset?

Why is it that cars, like wives, are things that can never be lent out?

Isn't that why...?

Although Gu Yin knew very well that Xia Qianyi wouldn't be like those stingy and miserly people who would cause trouble for Gu Yin if she broke something and end up ruining their relationship, Gu Yin would still feel embarrassed if even a small part of her luxury car broke.

To put it bluntly, it's a psychological problem.

This might explain why I've been so calm when driving these past few days...

Not only do others make way for Gu Yin, but Gu Yin also makes way for others.

Now that I have my own car, even though it's cheap, I can drive it however I want without any worries.

"You're so guarded..." Xia Qianyi couldn't help but complain.

To be honest, Xia Qianyi had never met someone like Gu Yin, but she had learned about his personality through some short videos.

Generally speaking, this kind of personality is often due to experiencing significant events in childhood, such as parental divorce or being bullied.

The subconscious distrust of everyone and the tendency to be wary of everyone is not paranoia, but rather a lack of belief that anyone would have goodwill towards me.

Even when others treat them with kindness, they feel embarrassed and think they can't accept such kindness.

They have never been treated kindly by the world, nor do they believe that there is any kindness in the world.

Gu Yin's personality doesn't seem like something that suffered from the 80s; it seems more like something that someone else suffered from. So Xia Qianyi immediately dismissed this point, feeling that Gu Yin's problem was most likely due to family reasons...

After all, he lost his father at a young age...

Thinking of this, Xia Qianyi looked at Gu Yin with a hint of heartache.

how to say……

Experiences can sometimes truly shape a person.

If it weren't for his family background from a young age, which shaped Gu Yin's personality of not wanting to be taken advantage of, he probably wouldn't have become an internet sensation later on when he participated in the program "Reconciling with Life" and taught those inconsiderate drivers a lesson on the road.

In the internet age, someone like him has truly changed his destiny and social class.

The two chatted as they walked. Since they had plenty of time, Gu Yin didn't drive fast. As they passed the intersection ahead, they could see the traffic light starting its countdown in the distance...

The traffic light countdown was on, but Gu Yin was still some distance from the light...

You said it's possible... and it is.

But you have to floor the gas pedal.

If you floor the accelerator and the car speed increases sharply, it's estimated that the countdown will be over in about one or two seconds...

In the worst-case scenario, there's still the yellow light, isn't there?
Crossing an intersection on a yellow light won't result in points being deducted; that's basically common knowledge. The traffic here is actually quite relaxed.

But doing that...

That would be considered "running a yellow light".

Many people would choose to step on the gas and rush through in this situation, but Gu Yin's approach...

"Slow down..."

Gu Yin removed his foot from the accelerator and stepped on the brake without hesitation.

It's worth mentioning that, just as Gu Yin stepped on the brakes, behind him...

"Beep beep!!!"

Suddenly, a horn blared.

Through the rearview mirror, a white Tesla could be seen following behind Gu Yin's car.

Why is the evil giant mouse clicking the horn?

The answer is simple: it felt that it could clearly cross the traffic light, but Gu Yin not only didn't cross, but also blocked its way, preventing it from moving.

[Tsk...]

The audience for the show "Reconciling with Life" next door is also having mixed opinions, with many people commenting:

[I think I could get through this by stepping on the gas, there's no need to drive so conservatively, is there?]

Hmm... I bet someone's going to say Coach Gu is too protective of his reputation again...

Isn't that a bit cowardly?

【Hey bro, do you know how easy it is to cause an accident if you run a yellow light?】 【And if you have an accident while crossing an intersection on a yellow light, it's almost always entirely your fault, no doubt about it.】

[Ber, what could possibly go wrong? You guys don't usually drive, right?]

Rules are rules, but when driving normally on the road, you should let the countdown pass as soon as possible. This is just taking up space and delaying other people...

……

Opinions among netizens are divided on whether or not to "run a yellow light".

Many people felt that Gu Yin should have gone over there, and some even said that if they were in the car behind, they would have honked at Gu Yin as well...

From Gu Yin's perspective, running a yellow light carries a certain degree of safety risk.

"Can we get through?"

Perhaps understanding the intention behind the car behind honking, Xia Qianyi couldn't help but ask.

She seemed to share the same opinion as the others, feeling that Gu Yin's driving style was a bit too conservative...

Gu Yin pursed her lips helplessly and said bluntly, "You also have to consider what kind of road it is..."

If this intersection were Jing Shi Road, or one of those wider roads with fewer people and where cars rarely come out from either side, Gu Yin would have taken Xia Qianyi's surname the moment he eased off the accelerator!
When driving on the highway, how many times have you seen Gu Yin release the accelerator?

The problem is, this is a national highway...

Along the national highways, there are usually villages. There are often village intersections on both sides of the traffic lights on these national highways. At these intersections, you can often see villagers riding electric bikes or driving tricycles.

If it's someone younger who knows a little about traffic rules, it's okay, they're restrained. But if it's an older person, like a grandpa or grandma, they don't care about this or that, they just go wherever they want!
Gu Yin told Xia Qianyi that he once had a friend who, on a similar road section, at a similar national highway intersection, followed closely behind a car and ran a yellow light...

When he rushed through the yellow light, he was in such a hurry that he was following very closely, which limited his visibility and made it impossible for him to see the car coming from the left.

As they crossed the intersection, the car in front accelerated quickly. Just as the car in front passed, an old man on a tricycle with an old woman on the back turned around...

Yes!
Sparrows are eating it!
This person ran a yellow light, and it's absolutely his fault without a doubt...

The problem is, those old folks don't care if there are cars coming from the opposite direction; they just turn when the light turns green!

Why are they spinning so fast?

Ah……

Isn't there only one traffic light at this national highway intersection?
When the green light comes on, cars going straight go and cars turning left go. Many cars on the national highway don't turn left. As non-motorized vehicles coming from the rightmost emergency lane, if they don't cut in, and the motorized vehicles go straight first when the green light comes on, how are they supposed to turn left?

So, when the light came on, they tried to cut in front of the vehicles going straight!
They were cutting in line too, and people running yellow lights were cutting in line as well, and that's how the race started...

Whose responsibility do you think it is?

First of all, without a doubt, it is the responsibility of the person who ran the yellow light.

But the problem is, isn't it also very unsafe to rush the green light?
To be honest, those national highways with only one traffic light and no left-turn light are really disgusting!

People who don't understand traffic rules are even more disgusting!

Instead of rushing for the green light, they should cross the road first and then wait for the green light to come on on the other side before crossing.

People that age don't understand, they can't learn, and there's nothing you can say about it...

Very helpless.

In conclusion, Gu Yin tries to avoid running yellow lights on this type of road section whenever possible.

The car behind might honk its horn at most, but wouldn't dare do anything, since even if the traffic police came, they would definitely support his "conservative" stance.

If all drivers on the road were "conservatives" like him, the chances of traffic accidents would really decrease by more than a little.

Is this not?

After honking a few times to vent their anger, the car behind, no matter how furious, could only brake along with Gu Yin, and that was the end of it...

Clearly, today's "protagonist" is not this white, evil giant mouse.

"This traffic light design is absolutely disgusting..."

Mentioning the single traffic light not far away, Gu Yin couldn't help but complain, "Can't they at least add a left-turn light to this kind of road?"

Turning left on this kind of road is a real headache, because as soon as the green light comes on, everyone rushes to get out of the way, especially the cars going straight, which speed up incredibly fast.

This is very inconvenient for vehicles turning left.

After all, turning vehicles must yield to oncoming traffic. In this type of road section, if an accident occurs, the vehicle turning left will definitely be fully responsible.

The problem is that if a car turning left yields to a car going straight, then the car turning left might not be able to get through...

National highways, as anyone who knows, especially those with heavy traffic like Gu Yin's, are where if a car turning left doesn't get a head start, it might not be able to move even when the light turns red.

It doesn't matter if they can't walk; they can just cross the intersection first and turn when the light turns red...

Since they've already reached the intersection, the traffic police won't say anything if they turn left in this situation.

The problem is, this national highway only has two lanes, one for going straight and the other for both going straight and turning left. If you turn left and don't move, you're blocking the way for all the cars behind you...

You've blocked all the cars behind you that wanted to go straight. They're all going to yell at you and honk their horns at you!
This kind of pressure is something every driver turning left understands...

This leads to many left-turning vehicles being quite unfriendly, and in many cases, they even compete with straight-going vehicles for the right-of-way when the green light turns on.

Is this not?

Gu Yin then encountered one...

Gu Yin was waiting at the traffic light when he saw a black Buick GL8 in the opposite lane, which allows both straight and left turns, turn on its left turn signal just before the green light turned on.

The Buick GL8, a mid-to-large MPV priced in the 200,000 to 300,000 yuan range, Gu Yin remembered seeing it on a car app a while ago; apparently, it sells quite well…

MPVs are mostly business vehicles, but some are also bought by families with many members for personal use. They have the capacity of a minivan and are several times more comfortable than a minivan, making them a very good car.

But many of these cars on the road are really adept at cutting in front of others...

It seemed like the people in the car were in a hurry to do something, as they were pressing the accelerator pedal very enthusiastically!
不远处，红绿灯开始倒计时，9……8……7……6……5……

Perhaps because of that black Buick, Gu Yin had been paying attention to the traffic lights in advance, and his foot was already on the brake pedal, ready to go.

The black Buick was the first car in the opposite left-turn lane, while he was the first car in his own outer lane. There was another car to Gu Yin's left, a Changan SUV...

When the green light countdown reached 2 seconds, Gu Yin saw the black Buick on the other side of the road about to move forward, inching forward, trying to cut in.

I don’t know if it’s just a habit, but Gu Yin has a habit of releasing the brake a second or two in advance, so he starts almost at the same time as the other person.

That would make it very easy for both sides to compete for this road...

Gu Yinqiang was right; he drove straight, so he was in the right no matter what...

The thing is, you're making a left turn, are you trying to rob my mother?!
You're not worthy!
