Changing a lane? Blinker.
Making a turn? Blinker.
You think nobody is around and doing either? Blinker.

And no, the use of your blinker does not indicate your right of way. Be courteous and if changing into a faster lane, make certain it's clear and keep speed with the traffic in that lane. Additionally, don't pull out into traffic and creep across 3 lanes, making traffic slam on their brakes around you so you can make the next turn: get to speed while moving over, and if necessary, make a u-turn a turn or two up or two left turns. And, for the love of Zeus, if you mistakenly make a commitment to a turn lane, keep it and correct your err after making the turn - do not jettison back out into flowing traffic.

All these drivers make me frightened about getting my Z in the next couple weeks!



/I might be overreacting
//It's a Z, worth overreacting maybe just a little



one of my worst pet peeves, Cali is notorious for idiots not signalling. Pisses me the hell off. Especially when they cut you off then slow down. I'm like really??? F****** idiots

Crap drivers. I love the goons who shoot up your arse and then when i will not speed up, they shoot to the next lane and do the same to another driver. If only it were legal to blast them off the highway.

It does make me nervous, because half the time I look two, maybe three times and still am not sure if there's someone there or not (when I'm actually the only one on the road!).
me too! scard to death I'm going to merge right into somebody that is in my blind spot...

Why don't you learn the rules.

Keep right: New Jersey wants slow drivers to get out of the way - Los Angeles Times

Hardly courteous here, they are very aggressive and do not use blinkers. Being from S.Cal and their often, the people out there are more courteous on the road.

I'm from Waxhaw but now live in the QC. I avoid 74 at all costs. Luckily I work 3rd shift so go the opposite way of traffic.

Maybe near your base or in the outskirts. Here in DFW?

1. No signals
2. The passing lane is the slow lane and right lane is the passing lane.
3. Everyone is talking and Texting while driving
4. more stop sign and red light runners I have ever seen in my life, so those cameras are making serious money here.
5. They think 4x4 means you can speed on ice.
6. They get road rage when they are making driving errors and start car bullying people which often leads to the road rager being shot dead right on the highway.
7. More fatal accidents in Tx than in any other state. Hmmm wonder why?

the list can go on
