Welcome to Michigan Driving
 

Ya know... ever since my bud Marko from PA came into town back in Feb. I sometimes think about how his wife commented about our driving in Michigan. Now granted I was driving with them during non rush hour traffic times and not in the crazy busy areas.

On my way to work this morning I was laughing at what was around me in the left lane. I had an easy 4 vechicles behind me in the distance of what SHOULD only be 1. Same really goes for in front of me. We're all rolling at about 80mph right on top of each other.

So I took a pic of my rear view, no law against that, just texting. LOL

Not the best angle... the cars had moved. But you can see the shadows easily... we are all damn near glued to each others bumps... normal to use... extreme tail gating to most others...

LOL...

I've always said, if you can drive in michigan you can drive anywhere.

It's like that here too...

I think it's like that everywhere. Can't stand tailgaters though.

It's illegal to text but you can still use your phone?

Here it's illegal to use handheld devices (no matter what you're doing).

Atlanta is worse. Far worse.

Scarily so.

Eff Atlanta traffic.

I agree.....

I'm going to Michigan next week!

Aren't you in the right lane?

I liked it when I lived there. At least people knew HOW to speed and tailgate correctly.

Really the only drivers I have found that share a michigan mindset towards agresive driving... is New Yorks. Tommy rolls just like I do. Don't take shit, and I'll F'in hit you to prove my point.

It's ok to talk on the phone, and dial, but as of July 1st, illegal to text and drive. It's stupid. Even cops say, it will be hard to prove on the side of the road that the driver was texting and not just dialing.

Really? I have been thru atlanta a half a dozen times.. I don't think anywhere south of the mason dixon is bad.

Understand this is 7am light traffic. I don't get back traffic in my area. Now when I lived in the northern suburbs of Detroit (Royal Oak/Troy by I-696). It was freakin insane! Or in Novi area where I-275/I-96/I-696/M5/M14 all come together... we call it the mixing bowl. F that place from about 2pm - 7pm

Mirror!!! Just like no the drivers seat isn't on the passenger side.

That's the way it is here. Remarkably it works fine. Very few accidents really. But when it gets dense you have to stay on your toes.

How about moving over then? redflip
