Any car that is in front of me - I have to be in front :lol:

But .. we have a thing out here about driving behind people who drive wearing hats - normally means they are from the "blue rinse set" and have been out playing lawn bowls all day - and drinking at the same time ...... AVOID at all costs :lol:

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.
I've seen both. Drive 309. You'll see it too. I have the same pet peeve Carey.
That's because most of the on ramps for 309 are leftovers from the 1960's. There is no extended entrance lane to merge from - the on ramp ends at the highway (with lousy visibility, to boot).
yo alphabet! the lack of merge is infuriating. I thought in 1960 goobers were all into wasting space, not preserving it.

yeah. ok. let's talk about that for just a minute. I got off the NJ turnpike to get gas. And i was driving and driving and driving and driving waiting for a break in the median where it didn't say "No U turn". THANK GOD my buddy who used to be a truck driver called me at that very moment. I told him where I was. He explained the whole "no left / no u-turn" thing. I'd still be driving down that same road if it weren't for him.

Do you think they could explain it a little better? Even with him telling me I still had a hard time figuring out the right turny-around things.

U-turns are legal in Georgia..and after so many years being illegal in Oklahoma, it seems strange to not look over your shoulder before you make the turn...U-turns are my friend..

The entrance and exit ramps in Georgia and what of Florida I've been on seems very well engineered....but I don't think most people know how to Merge, but then...one has to be cautious of the urge to merge...don't they?

most drivers in Oklahoma, do not know how to merge...Georgia and Florida seem to do it better...it might be the design of the ramps ??

On I95 it's good to get someone running close to 85/90 to have your front door..don't care who it is as long as they don't have those multi colored lights on top...

I gotta go with the Subaru station wagons and Volvo station wagons being a close second. It doesn't matter where I am, where I'm driving, but I'm going nowhere fast if I'm stuck behind one of these.

So, how about you?
OMG BB has been driving behind me :o :o

I have a Subaru Outback. And I drive the speed limit or lower if it's snowing :roll: I really don't like to drive and the longest trips I drive on are to see my folks--1 1/2 hours each way which I did today. Got behind a log truck...which I really hate!

Since it was a bit snowy today, I had food, water, blankets, shovel, phone and plenty of Jimmy cd's in the car. :P Part of the area I drive through to reach their home has no cell service and no houses or businesses (or anything but woods) around for miles and miles....

so let me guess, you're not one for spontaenous road trips? Especially, not with those items - there's nothing spontaneous about them.

ummm No. Not spontaneous. Wait maybe the Jimmy CDs could be spontaneous :P Spontaneous can be deadly here in Michigan when traveling roads where you won't be found for a long time if something goes wrong....
