and now you get to "experience" game-day traffic...a whole NEW level of road rage will take over, if you let it! just know that at every moment from at least 4pm today (tent setup) until sunday a lil after noon, you will be avoiding someone's bad driving. the sooner you accept and embrace it, the more stress free you will be able to be while living in 'vegas! this weekend is a lil more hectic with bulldawg bash tonight!

be safe ...hail state ....go dawgs!

tell your students to keep their heads on a swivel...it ain't just the kids driving badly!

not just 'vegas, though. was run off the road in g'wood by "shameka" doing a no look lane change from the fast lane (driving slow) to the slow lane to get around somebody turning in to viking plant...then somebody pulled out into heavy traffic from off-ramp on the east side of the railroad overpass without looking and forced a truck/trailer over on me - how that wasn't a pile-up, i don't know, but it was averted.

then again, we (miss'ippi) was just voted the most dangerous to drive in.
I swear every time we go back to north MS to visit family I am so pissed by the time I get there due to people driving 55 in the left lane, not using blinkers, and generally just sucking ass at driving that it isn't even enjoyable to go up there any more.

3 days in Clarksdale watching the non swimmers try to work a 4 way stop would put you over the edge. Blinkers are things of the past here.
There will be a day....

Somewhat proper driving, use of turn signals, how to run divided highway turn spot, and left lane etiquette are apparently not required as part of passing a driving test any more. Oh the best is when there is short lane you can get on to merge into traffic off a side street and a dumbass STOPS and waits on a chance to get on the road. $#@%^$@#%$#%^$@# use the damn lane to get up to speed and ease into traffic flow don't hold everyone else up!!!!
