Avoidance Might Just be Safest

With spring comes the thaw and reactivation of the zombie horde (as opposed to the zombie hoard, which S.D. keeps in the basement and occasionally feeds a loose neighborhood pet to), and they start going out and about.  Currently, please be aware that zombies can still drive.  Perhaps not drive, per se, but they can make a vehicle go sort of where they want it to go.  To avoid interactions with zombies driving (randomly) all about you, it is important to be vigilant and to keep your vehicle in excellent running condition.  If you hit a pothole whilst swerving to avoid a zombie in a Buick, you really do not want a vital part of your car to go flying off, leaving you stuck or stranded, far away from home, and served up to the shambling hordes.

Another important thing is to know how to accelerate.  Get quickly past those slow zombie bastards!  Be aware, though, this may be a trap that you do not want to drive into, so look ahead and, once again, be vigilant!

Know your territory.  Having a good general sense of direction is best, and knowing back roads is VITAL.  GPS units are no good at helping you avoid undead hot-spots.  Be able to exit from the highway and get to where you need to be easily, avoiding minivans full of big and little zombies going to zombie soccer practice or zombie dance class.

This is a non-traditional world, you will have to take non-traditional means to get where you need to go, when is the only variable.

To sum up:
-keep your vehicle in good repair 
-keep your vehicle full of fuel
-be vigilant
-know your territory
-it's the long one on the right.  use it.
-beware of zombie traps
-don't go into the box in the first place.  always think and be outside the box.
