"Have compassion for everyone you meet,

The Law of Garbage Trucks

"We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded,and missed the other car by mere inches!

And I mean, he was actually friendly!" So begins this intriguing real-life story that goes on to explain the powerful "Law of Garbage Trucks".
