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:

    I'm the only one who knows that the top of the escalator is not really the best place to stop and plan your next move.

    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.......
