1. If there are ten cars stacked up behind you, and another ten cars have passed you on the right, and you are on a four-lane highway (two on each side), YOU ARE IN THE WRONG GORRAMED LANE. Get the frak over already. I do not give a crap that you are going one mile an hour faster than the cars in the right lane… GET OVER.
2. Do not argue with semis.
3. The Law of Gross Tonnage and the Law of Relative Worth (drivers of cheap cars tend to be stupid, while drivers of expensive cars tend to be more safe) appear to have been repealed at some point in the past 10 years.
4. Cars towing tiny-assed trailers at 90 miles an hour probably did not read the instruction manuals of those tiny-assed trailers.
5. Nine hours of driving is a drag.
…And if you’re one of those @ssholes that insist on pacing a semi (with its turn signals on) they CAN make their trailer do a little buggy whip to let you know they want some space to get over.
Penna was the worst place I drove that the cars would jam the next lane as soon as they saw a semi’s turn signal.
Agreed, Kurt… even worse, on the way back from our trip, we actually saw a semi activate its turn signals, and then people sped up to go around it (when they were already behind it when the semi’s turn signals came on). A Mustang just about lost its nose when the semi decided it had had enough…
