    I've been seeing a lot of that lately. And squeezing through small spaces at highway speeds. That's how you get killed on a motorcycle.

    Drivers looking down texting. $10,000 fine and their Driver's lic revoked
    GA is a 'hands free' state. You are not even supposed to touch your phone while in your car. I'm sure a lot of people violate it () but we do have that law.

    We're hand free as well, but I see people looking down texting all the time.

    I believe it's a $10,000 fine here which I agree with. We've had some serious close calls with people veering off the median.

    Dont come to Detroit.

    When we first moved here a friend said, "signaling is a sign of weakness."

    this is exactly what happens in Detroit. If you put your signal on to change lanes, people will not let you in.

    Coming from Ontario (generally) where if you put on your signal, the person would slow down to let you in.

    Traffic circles, or roundabouts where people RACE through or don't pay attention and nearly cut you off.

    Although, in the States, I think this is a problem of putting in roundabouts and not teaching people how to navigate through them.

    Mayor Pete loves them, he ruined South Bend's downtown traffic on US31 with a bunch of them, you got to be alert big time.

    There is an odd thing with Israeli drivers. They often slow down while passing and speed up when leaving the passing lane on the highway. Trying to pass one of those guys can be very frustrating. They will speed up to match your pace as you try to pass them. Then they pull in front of you and slow down. But at least we don't suffer from road rage here. Actually we seem to enjoy it .
