Remember turn signals don't work in Naples. Neither do stop signs.
If you do get lost stop in the middle of the road.
Never turn your head. Yellow means go. and so on......
So true. Are you still around. If so, let’s meet for coffee at Bad Ass coffee.

We're going to reopen hopefully January 2. I'm usually networked in from our house but let me know when and I'll be there. Or we can all go out for dinner.

Having a sticker like that on your car is just showing your weak Lol! There is a merge of two highways in Rhode Island that is just insane everybody from the highway on the left is trying to get on the highway on the right and vice versa and it is done at between 55 and 75 miles on hour and you have maybe 2 tenths of a mile.

Those are the ones I refer to, they can be tough to navigate.

Sounds like half the merges in DC.

The thing about Mass drivers is they are actually very predictable.
The blue hairs in FLA are the opposite. They can do some truly terrifying stuff with no advance notice.

No I was talking about 146 coming into providence were it merges into 95 and you have people on 95 trying to get over to the right to get onto route 10 or for the other exit into the city that is there, while all the cars on 146 are getting dumped onto 95.

Yeah. That looks kind of messy.



No worse than Atlanta. I-85 is also I-75 here and its about 8 lanes wide in both directions. If you are headed north you want to be in the left (west) lanes to continue on I-85 northeast. If you want I-75 northwest you need to be in the right (east) lanes.
