There are many other places I would prefer to drive. Boston, New York, and LA to name a few. I hate driving in Seattle. And I have to do it all the time. I will even expand. Washington State. People do not drive well. It is even worse when it starts to snow. Forget about it actually sticking. Here is my list of things for today people need to remember:
1). Right of way at stops signs! If you both come to a stop sign, the person on your direct right goes first. Do not wait forever. Speed dial to zero and go. That is the most you should ever wait.
2). Freeway on ramps means get to 60 and FAST. I know not all cars can get to zero to 60 in like 3 seconds, but by the time you are where the juncture of the on ramp meets the freeway, you should be at 60. Especially if the traffic goes that fast. I am tired of everyone going like 30 and then trying to speed up on the freeway. Dangerous
3). Merging means Every Other One! Getting onto the freeway when traffic is slower means you need to prepare to enter from the on ramp between cars on the free way. Too many times cheaters and idiots zoom ahead to the “front” and cut other cars off, get in front of people who have already merged and cause the whole lane to stop. If people “merged” easily and every other one, then traffic would not come to a stand still for a couple of minutes. That is why I and others stick out to the right side even when we merge because of cheaters.
Freeway is 60 or higher. In Washington anyways. If you can not go 60, then do not enter the freeway. I am all for speed limits and saving gas, but the freeway is 60 and you better be going that. If you are a right at 60 person, then make sure you are in the light lane. 60-65 then in the middle lanes. Leave the left lane for passing and fast drivers. I know this is impossible in some places on the free way in the Seattle area, but those are exceptions.
Those are some of the most frustrating things I run into. It makes me quite an angry panda when people are stupid. And if you do not drive right, I will honk at you. I am not passive aggressive silent and try to show you with my car, I just honk at you. Get used to it. And stop driving like an idiot!!!!
