that you're supposed to merge onto a highway matching the speed of traffic.

Everyone else in Colorado believes you're supposed to go 10-20 mph slower. :explode:

What's your secret knowledge??? :smokin:

    The ability to properly manipulate that little stick on the steering column that makes the lights on the left side or right side of my car flash to indicate I plan on moving that direction!

    There's this thing only I know about...

    The brake is on the left & the gas is on the right.

    Maybe I should share with the rest of the world! :bigsmile:

    And likewise, that you merge WHEN you can merge w/o cutting the existing traffic off! It's a turn signal, not just a free license to cut everyone off! :mad:

    When the light is green, you can move forward.

    A large percentage of people in my town slow or even come to a complete stop at green lights. When I first moved here, I thought it might be some strange city law, but no, it's just a weird quirk of the drivers here. How did this get started? Did one or two people start regularly treating green lights like stop signs and it just caught on?

    That there is actually room for two shopping carts to fit down the aisle of a grocery store if you stick to one side or the other.

    That pedestrians do not ALWAYS have the right of way, contrary to urban legend. Especially when they leap out in front of a car in a 45 mph zone with no crosswalk in sight.

    *GASP* someone else DOES know this!!!!!!

    I think I'm the only one that knows that there is such a thing as a sidewalk...... people down here like to just walk out into the street even if there's a HUGE truck coming. Big Bertha does not stop so well.......

    1. That parking lights on a car are calling parking lights for a reason--they aren't called driving lights.

    2. How to change the water bottle on the cooler at home & the office!

    That's why I drive in the fastlane!
    It's always funny when we are going somewhere in our truck and trailer and some a$$hat does this...doesn't even look over their shoulder or in the mirror and suddenly at 45 mph they look left and are faced with 50 feet of rolling metal :laugh: good times!

    Stop signs won't turn green.

    I've had to sit behind people who were unaware that they were at a STOP sign, not a traffic light, and just sit there until I honk the horn.

    you do NOT have to leave 1/2 of a block between you and the car in front of you when stopping at a red light.

    i hate when people take forever to go once the light actually turns green. and the green lights around here are SUPER short. grinds my gears.
