Seems appropriate.

I'm from Brooklyn and so far, in this region, Jersey drivers are typically the best, PA drivers are awful, NY drivers are split down the middle with anus drivers and decent drivers.

But they're all decent compared to Florida drivers. I'll never forget the 30 car pileups every single day on i-95 when I lived there. How is that even possible........

Got me thinking. Why do drivers in the US have no lane discipline? They feel like they own the lane they are in regardless of speed and traffic.

For those that are familiar with the say Germany which is know for their lane discipline what are we doing wrong in the US?

Lack of alternative public transportation. It's also why so many states don't have strict road worthiness inspections.

And what's available is very inefficient and takes at least twice as long as driving yourself. One is also at the whim of the schedule.

It's funny when they get offended when you decide to pass them too, some people are just totally retarded.

I just came across this. Seems appropriate for this thread.

Yeah that happens too, they even give you finger sometimes. I also like the idiots that merge on to highways and signal with horn to let them in.....some crazy mofos out there.

Couple of weeks ago guy wasn't turning right on red (allowed here), I briefly used my horn to wake him up, he got very upset, started speeding, yelling, showing me finger, almost crashed lol

I guess I should get involved advocating. My hope for Tennessee is that they would add (1) lane (far left*) of Federal Interstate across the state (hopefully the state could pilot a program that the feds could roll out across the country), and paint the lines for that lane in bright green, and put in all driver's literature * and signage that it is a passing only lane... that no one (myself included) should be driving in that lane if the lane to the right is clear, and that no one is allowed to pace any car in the lane to the right at any time.

at ~$2m per lane per mile... hahahaha... it's a big expense, but driving west across the state yesterday it was clear that TN does not have NEAR enough volume capacity on the interstates... left lane law or not.

then - enforcement. generate that revenue... as the pocketbook is what will really teach the rule.

@br438, I understand you think of an additional outer left lane because these are more needed, and, as a compensation, the renaturation of the outer right lane. Sounds interesting! Wait....

Then you went on to say you honked at someone to make a turn on red.
Just appreciating the irony, that’s all.
Unless you consider yourself a crazy mofo too, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Aren’t we all…

It's pretty normal to honk when people are sleeping at the set of lights.....

...Or on their phone.

I was driving the other night and came up to a street where I was going to be making a right. There was a car in front of me and it was a red light. When the light turned green the car in front of me did not move. I waited a couple of seconds and it still didn't move. I gave it a beep and still nothing, there was no other cars so I went around to the left of the car and pulled right next to the car, and there was a lady typing on her phone. She was so involved in what she was doing that she didn't hear me beep at her (or didn't care). I gave her a long hard beep and she finally looked up. Then I gave her my middle finger and drove around her.

Pay attention! Sheesh!
