most of those in-state plates are rental cars don't forget.

And all the harm that I ever did, Alas it was to none but me.
And since it falls, unto my lot, that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, 'Goodnight and Joy be with you all.'"

actually you can tell the difference here.
Most locals have the county name at the bottom of the plate (in our case Orange county) the rent cars always have "Sunshine State"

I truly believe, no I know.....that MD-DC-VA drivers do not know that the left lane is for PASSING ONLY!!!!
I took drivers ed in MD and it was never explained that the far right was the slow lane and far left the fast lane. I didn't learn until I was 17 and drove to Florida. Lemme just tell you.....those truckers in NC, SC and GA teach you real fast!!
And we went to PA this weekend.....what is up with STOPPING in the yield lane when getting onto a major highway?!?!?!?!?!? EVERYONE did it. Everyone! I don't get it. "Yield" does not mean "slam on your brakes and come to a dead stop 200 feet before you have to merge".

Really? Cripes, I thought everyone in PA thought that yield meant speed up as fast as you could and cut everyone off whether you have room or not. I swear people don't have a clue that if they merge in and hit someone it's actually their fault.
Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all..

I've seen both. Drive 309. You'll see it too. I have the same pet peeve Carey.

but with this, remember: you have less than a quarter mile on a lot of on ramps to get up to speed to merge, unless every moron and his brother also never heard of the "move left to allow traffic to merge" concept; so you end up slamming on the brakes because you are up to 50 at the bottom of the ramp and it is a solid line of cars coming at you at 65 and you are out of space too..
