Here in PA they solved that problem several years ago by removing the =

they figured it wasn't worth bucking a trend.

As long as we're discussing social problems slightly related to our =

would like to know what is wrong with drivers education in this country?
It seems the phrase "Drive right pass left" is unknown here. At least =
the=20
people that visit Florida don't seem to have any idea that the right =
lane is
the driving lane and the left is to be occupied for a short time while
passing
a slower car. It's really a simple process, you approach a slower car, =
you=20
turn on your left turn signal, you change lanes, pass the car, turn on =
your
right turn signal, and finally change lanes back to the right. It seems
simple
but each year when our roads are choked with tourists, spring breakers =
and
snowbirds it becomes obvious that this simple rule has never been =
learned.
Some of us are not on vacation. Get out of the way. You'll find the =

limit
of the=20
$25 ticket and a good cruising speed.=20
Sorry about the venting and I appreciate the chance to let it go.
