OK, that's it. I cannot keep my mouth shut any longer! (As if I ever could.) Having moved here to PA last August, and keenly observing what pass as motorists in this state, I have a few things to say. Specifically to PA drivers. But if you don't live in PA and the shoe fits...well you know the rest.
1. You know those things on the sides of the road? The sticks with the funny shapes on top? They're called SIGNS. They have pictures on them or numbers or words. All of these have a PURPOSE. If you don't know how to read, then LEARN and if you do, THEN LEARN TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!
2. You know those pretty lines that are painted on the roadways? Contrary to what seems to be popular opinion, THEY ARE NOT ART! They have a PURPOSE. PICK A LANE, ANY LANE, AS LONG AS IT IS ONLY ONE AT A TIME!
3. Now, if this offends left handed people, I apologize. The reality is that in this country we drive on the RIGHT side of the road. And like it or not, left turns do NOT have the right of way. Even in Pennsylvania. I checked. So if you want to drive on the left or for left turns to have the right of way, I suggest you move to Europe.
4. An intersection is a place where two or more roads meet, cross or in some way come together. Notice those cool psychedelic lights hanging there? THEY ARE NOT FOR DECORATION! RED means to STOP. Preferably BEFORE entering said intersection. GREEN means to GO, not sit and check your makeup. And contrary to popular belief, as well as the movie Starman, YELLOW DOES NOT MEAN GO VERY FAST.
thanks for listening.
P.S. DO NOT USE THE RIGHT LANE TO TURN LEFT DAMN IT! y'all are startin' to piss me off!

Sweety If I ever come to Boston you won't have to ever worry about me and the roads... the only thing you might have to do is keep me from driving to reading and exacting a little revenge on someone who hurt me real bad recently. Long story... tell you about it sometime.
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it » »
