How about the guy who accelerates to 40MPH on the freeway onramp and stops accelerating and somehow thinks that's the way you merge with traffic that is going 75?  There seem to be a lot of those guys in Denver...seems like 90%+.

Both of those seem to be gaining traction in western Oregon as well, especially in the Portland area.

And don't forget the guy who gets on the freeway in stop and go traffic, jumps to the far left lane, because it's moving a half car length faster every 5 minutes, only to dive back over to make the very next exit, usually when he's even with it.

    Up here in Eastern Washington the going rules seem to be 

1:  If in a 4 lane situation ride the left hand passing lane 2mph below the car your "attempting" to pass. OR force everyone into the right hand lane by tailgating in your hopped up desiel Dodge 4×4.

2:  Once you have gained lane control and set a speed....usually 10 over posted, proceed to travel into 2 lane traffic then proceed to slow down to 20mph under posted speed limit. Safety first!!

3: Claim to be low on blinker fluid OR have your left hand index finger removed to prevent informing others of your turning intentions.

4: If your exit is next BE SURE to blow past the car in front of you THEN slam on brakes to make your 30mph exit from the left lane.

5: In inclimate weather conditions reduce speed accordingly....this is only a suggestion as your local First Responders truly enjoy being out in a blizzard to pull your dumb body out of the tangled mess YOU created.

6: Keep honking, I'm reloading OR horn broke watch for finger.

we're modelers it's what we do

These are most certainly still current and if anything too tame. I was recently on the Jersey Turnpike and the troopers don't even look up from their crossword puzzles unless you're over 80 in the right hand lane. I eventually was on the NY Thruway and just before exiting went thru a radar trap. I looked down and saw I was going 84 (as were the other three cars in the pack  was currently in) and nothing happened.

Addendum: All the above applies in New Jersey, most of New York, and so the drivers out west don't feel left out .  .  . Most of Nevada!!!

A few years back, I was doing a ride-along with the local constabulary and heard this statement, much to my amusement;

"But you can't give me a ticket, it's only my first accident!"

"Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay?"

Ha!  Never drove in New Jersey but I think a lot of that still applies.  Thanks for posting. 

Thanks,

John
