    Default I wish people would learn..

    that an on-ramp leading to a highway does not have a stop sign at the end of it, so you shouldn't stop and wait untill there is a space for you to pull out. an on-ramp is so you can pick up speed and merge onto the highway. also, when merging you merge into the closest lane, not the one 2 lanes over.

    i was stuck behiend some ***** who a) stopped and b) jumped into the lane 2 over from the proper lane. i was not happy, infact, i laid on the horn to let her know i wasn't happy and she should get a move on before i go around her.. she got the message and i got into the nearest lane and ended up passing her shortly after.
    I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.

    Only in the states.
    That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.

    That ******* pisses me off.

    Those people going about 15mph on an on-ramp to one of the busy interstates in america.. and they wait until it is clear..

    I hit the on-ramp going 70-80 and hope to god there is room for me to merge.

    I mean, the people usually get over when they see someone coming down.. or speed up/slow down one to let you on..

    I forgot you are in the US, I was going to lecture you on how you're meant to take the safe approach and that stopping is advised in busy hours... Only in America

    Stopping just slows down traffic, as you have to pick up speed on the interstate instead of the on ramp.

    I never slow down when I verge onto the motorway I just go with the flow normally cars already on the motorway either slow down themselfs and let me on or.. pull over into the fast lane its just common courtesy. I think slowing down to like 15 mph then having to speed back up once you find a gap is more dangerous tbh
    I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

    Same... I mean I know there are times when you should go a tad bit slower (heavy rain.. I'm not going over 55-60 in the rain, it's just common sense not to fly down the highway under low visibility.

    I usually go 70-75. Depends on what car I'm in really. If I'm in my truck.. 70.. or if I'm in my car I usually go around 75-80 normally, as it's a speed demon ;P

    But some old(er) people go like.. 50.. the entire time.. :| I'm like.. go the **** on!
