Padiddle

Rules may include:
1. Daytime running light padiddle counts times 3.
2. Only headlights count. No tail lights.
3. Headlights are called with the traditional "padiddle" while taillights are called with "padonkle."
4. If the driver sees a Padiddle in the rear window, he can call it, while passengers can't. This is known as the "driver's handicap", as they have to pay attention to driving.
5. If someone is seen driving with their indicator still on, that counts as a Padiddle.
6. Calling a false Padiddle will incur a penalty of one point, item of clothing, etc (for aggressive games, players lose all points).
7. If a Padiddle is called which no one else can see (eg. through a median, fence or trees), then it can be challenged within 3 seconds for dismissal. If no one challenges it, then it counts.
8. If there is a tie at the end of the night, the rule states, that the driver, if involved, always wins. Like in blackjack, dealer always wins. Driver reserves the right to throw anyone out of the car.
9. If you find special vehicles with one light out, (emergency vehicles, semi traliers etc), they are special and double the reward.
10. An additional rule to Padiddle (not noted above), is that if somebody in the car sees a car with no headlights then that person shouts 'suicide' and hits the roof. the last person to shout suicide and hit the roof must remove all articles of clothing.
11. If one doesn't want to follow the rules, they can ask to owe a certain amount of 'padiddles' or 'suicides' next time the game is played
12. 'Permanent' Padiddles are padiddles that occur when the vehicle has been crashed at the headlight, rendering the headlight house unable to hold a replacement headlight. These padiddles can be called during daylight hours.
13. Players may modify the word "padiddle" using the type of vehicle in question, ie. "bus-diddle" or "truck-diddle". This is only to occur with rare vehicles and must never be used for "car-diddles".

Padiddle is the king when it comes to car games. No other traveling sporting event is quite as fun or focus oriented. As a passenger, you have a slight advantage over the driver as you don’t have to worry about the actual process of driving as you play this game. The rules of this game are listed above, but I will not be going into further detail about HOW to play the game. Every day I play with my brother as we drive to Gold’s Gym and back. I would say that on average we encounter eight padiddles per round trip. I’m usually not one to brag or be confident about myself, but I feel as though I could hold my own against pretty much anyone when it comes to battling in this epic event. Unfortunately, I came home this break a little rusty as nobody here at ISU (at least that I have driven with) plays the game. Anyway, if you haven’t played, the rules are a listed above…game on!
