Is always complaining about the California drivers in our state. California is pretty high on the list. So. I think he may be on to something.

Billingsley99 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 A serious question for any Ohio licensed drivers. Does the drivers education courses in Ohio teach that when driver on the interstate you must drive in the left hand lane regardless of whether you are driver 20 or 120? If not is it just inherent or is it a learned behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 This isn't state specific but city specific. The concept of roundabouts isn't like trying to figure out how to split an atom. Pretty simple. Figure it out if driving in Carmel. Just last night I was entering and the car in front of me decided to stop halfway in because he or she (didn't see driver) didn't know to keep going. Gladly the car coming from my left noticed this and stopped. I work from home so I don't drive much anymore. From what I see out there when I do drive though....scary.

IUFLA Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Having lived in Texas for 7 years, here are my observations... 1. A dually should be driven like a Ferrari, sloloming in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed. 2. Everyone drives a dually 3. That stalk on the left hand side of the steering column is for decoration purposes only 4. Having your front bumper in front of an adjacent vehicle gives you the right of way 5. Tying cargo down in your dually is optional. If your cargo flies out of the dually's bed, ownership is immediately transferred to the first vehicle that impacts it, or anyone stupid enough to stop and try to dodge traffic recovering it. 6. Wave finger first, then gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington got it's first roundabout about 3-4 years ago. The city even set up an exhibit at the park where people could "practice" with golf carts. People are STILL bitching about it. Personally, I love it...I rarely have to stop at one of the busiest intersections in town. If you can't navigate a simple 4-way roundabout, you should probably just sell your vehicles and Uber.

However, it took many years later, and visiting friends in Michigan to learn a new term (for me at least) for people from Illinois. FIP. Michiganders really, really don't like Illinois drivers.

I have had the pleasure, 😩 of driving twice through the Magic Roundabout of Swindon England!! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=magic+roundabout+swindon&&view=detail&mid=9A926A04758001BA16C39A926A04758001BA16C3&&FORM=VRDGAR Two concentric roundabouts, with 5 roundabouts in-between!!! Not to mention these idiots, drive on the wrong side of the road!! I agree wholeheartedly FKIM, if someone is incapable of negotiating a simple 4 way roundabout, they should just give it in!!

mrflynn03 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I like roundabouts. It's just a couple of right turns. Anyone who can't figure them out should immigrate to a low IQ part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
