Self Obs - In Car

[Kleeny]

I think all of us here who drive have experienced that slightly worrying sneeze fit while your coming up to a junction.

Twice today I have sneezed in the car. The first was on my way to my piano teachers, I was coming to the end of long road with another busy road at the end of it, onto which I had to join. I felt the tingle in my nose about 30 seconds before the end of the road, and sure enough two loud sneezes followed, happily I was breaking at the time and everything was fine. However I wanted to blow my nose, and the traffic lights seemed to know this, so they very kindly turned to GREEN! not just the once, but the next three lights changed from red to green just as I was going to hold the tissue to my nose.

On the way back from piano lesson it happened again, and this time I was just driving, with no junctions to negotiate, and the lights were a little kinder on this occasion.

It is still an uncomfortable feeling however, because you momentarilly lose control.
