6In this satire of instructional driving videos, two drivers, Red No and Green Yes, show the wrong way and the right way to react in different driving situations. Unfortunately, the ''proper'' action ends badly for Green Yes each time.

8!!This Short Contains The Following Examples:
9* BigHonkingTrafficJam: Green Yes ends up in several of these when he makes ''proper'' turns.
10* BrokenAesop: The whole point of the short: following the rules of the road will get you into more trouble than ''not'' obeying them.
11* ColorCodedCharacters: Red No and Green Yes.
12* CosmicPlaything: Poor Green Yes, who can never catch a break despite the fact that he's following the rules of the road.
13* DrivesLikeCrazy: Red No. Ironically, despite being rude, he never actually hurts anyone, unlike with Green Yes, who's attempts to drive safely result in people getting run over and damages to cars.
14* {{Jerkass}}: Red No chiefly, but also several others that torment Green Yes.
15* LitteringIsNoBigDeal: Red No shows this sentiment when he stops in the middle of the road and tosses litter out on the street. Sadly, when Green Yes does the right thing and throws his into the trash can, he ends up getting a ticket for leaving his car in the middle of the road.
16* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Every time Green Yes does the right thing, karma rewards him with misfortune. He even gets a ticket while he was throwing away litter.
17* RightWayWrongWayPair: Respectively, Green and Red are ''supposed'' to be this, but Green always gets punished for doing the right thing.
