What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I’ve driven i-70 from where it starts to the Rockies and back again. East coast is shitty, packed with low iq drivers. The rudest were near Pittsburgh, where they seem to take delight in screwing over other drivers. The best were only slightly west of PA, in OH, where they honor the passing lane and seem to care about other people being able to travel efficiently. The Midwest drivers in OH, IN, southern IL, MO, and KS were all pretty good. The only frustrating times are when one truck passes another at only a small percentage faster, so the pass takes long as the two trucks clog both lanes.
In CO they should have the midwestern lane discipline, but I think it’s the curving steep parts of the mountain roads that poison the driving culture for the whole state, including around Denver which is the high plains rather than the mountains. In the mountains, sometimes both lanes have to slow way down and conventional passing has less opportunity. Instead of just making due in these few tricky parts of the mountains and then trying to revert to the left-lane-for-passing-only system as soon as is reasonable, they just get comfortable with abusing the passing lane. They throw out the entire lane selection system and it becomes a retarded traffic jam everywhere. Commute on straight and dry i-25 in Denver, and there’s chumps blocking the passing lane for no reason
Yes I noticed those issues also. The merging.., whew! If you’re in the acceleration lane and your brake lights come on, you’re doing it wrong.
And the traffic jam assholes who aggressively defend their following distance by stomping the accelerator and stomping the brakes like tards with no fine motor skills. If you try to roll at the average speed of the jam by intermittently leaving a larger than average following distance in front of you, they’ll try to punish you for it by cutting into your lane and messing with your flow. As if your following distance is the key to defeating the traffic jam. They don’t realize that the real problems were miles ahead and many minutes earlier. Anyone they can see are just in the same boat and not the cause of the jam. Might as well cooperate to save gas and wear and tear, like the Europeans do.
