Is driving really that hard?
Luckily I don't have to spend too much time driving on 95 (or any other major highway), but good Lord! I mean, is it really that hard to drive?! Twice a week I drive to Boca (maybe 25 miles each way) and I can't believe how the majority of drivers just seem to either a.) not know what they're doing, b.) not give a sh!t about anyone else, or c.) think that they can make their own rules.
A few simple rules would be nice.
1.) If you're going to be in the left lane (formerly known as the "fast lane"), then my God, please do more than the speed limit & don't hold everyone else up.
2.) Should you decide not to keep up with the general flow of traffic, then move your a$$ over to the right.
3.) One word - BLINKERS! Come on people! Is it really that difficult to use?! All cars come equipped with them - it's not an option! Repeat after me..."When changing lanes, I will use my blinker to inform others of what I intend to do".
I'm sure I've left out lots of other important things. And I'm not even going to get on the topic of cell phones or over-75 drivers.
Sorry for the rant. I just can't believe how apparently the "rules of the road" have fallen by the wayside.....
I am now leaving the soap box....

a word about blinkers....
sometimes they work against you. Many a South Florida driver will speed up to keep you from changing into their lane if you use your signal. Thats why I stopped using them for the most part. I got tired of a-holes doing that.

As I've said before, I keep a large quantity of quarters in the cupholder for tolls and haters...amazing how fast they get out of your way or off of your ass when you start tossing a quarter at their windshield every 5 seconds. It can be costly some days (spent over $2.50 on one guy), but they eventually learn

What does Richie do, since he pulled them off for weight loss?lol
Plus, I think someone said that when you use them they pull from your HP. lol Plus, the middle finger works well too, when you want to inform others of what you intend to do or to say what you think of what they did.lol

in south florida the left lane and the right lane have switched positions. I've found when on highways like any of the 95s, if i stay in the right couple lanes i go much faster than if I stay in the left couple lanes.
