‘You must learn to pronounce Idylwyld’: Satirical letter outlines rules for driving in Saskatoon

13 rules for driving in Saskatoon A satirical letter is surfacing on social media, giving humorous advice for Saskatoon drivers.

A satirical letter, titled “The Rules for Driving in Saskatoon,” is making its rounds online.

There are 13 satirical driving rules, including, “You must first learn to pronounce the name Idylwyld, it is: ‘EYE-DIL-WILD,’” and, “If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been accidentally activated.”

The letter is made to look like a City of Saskatoon news release, with an official city letterhead placed at the top of the page.

City logo gets removed

A new letter – without the city’s official logo – is now surfacing, by request of city solicitors who said while the comical intent of the original letter is appreciated, they don’t want the city’s logo misused.

“The city has touched base with the creator of the mock ‘Rules For Driving’ letter to ask them to remove the city’s official logo from the image posted to social media,” Julie Mintenko, a spokesperson for the city, said in an email to CTV News.

She said the creator of the letter has since made the changes.

“But, obviously the [original] image has already been shared many places.”

The mock rules have been shared across Reddit, Twitter and Facebook

Mayor Charlie Clark chuckled when CTV News showed him the list on Thursday.
