California Drivers

The birthday update will come in a minute. First I have to whine some more about how much my drive to work drives me nuts because of how stinking SLOW people drive here, and how they totally ignore the whole "slower traffic keep right" concept. We shall do this by showing you a diagram comparing NJ highway driving to CA.

NJ traffic heading <<--- 4 lane highway (8 lanes total) 65 MPH speed limit

---

Slow Lane - Speed = 60-68 MPH

---

Speed = 65-75 MPH

---

Speed = 70-80 MPH

---

Fast Lane - Speed = 80+ MPH

---

CA traffic heading <<--- 4 lane highway (8 lanes total) 65 MPH speed limit

---

Slow Lane - Speed = 50-55 MPH

---

Speed = 55-60 MPH

---

Speed = 60-65 MPH

---

Fast Lane - Speed = 65-68 MPH

---

Okay so maybe some people think the CA way is the "right" way to drive, but to me it is just the SLOW way. And the annoying way because I get stuck behind a row of cars all going at similar speeds across all four lanes!
