i don't want to start crap from me saying that !

you would have to drive in other countrys to see just what and why i said that . when your at the ring other drivers let you pass then and you do the same for them . here even on track days you get drip sticks that don't even want to give you a point by . on public roads you get dip sticks just sitting in the passing lane then for no reason they move to the driving line and then back to the passing lane . they drive all over the roads from one lane to another with no though at all . other countrys driving is a privilege but in the states it's a right .
a driving test here in the states is a total joke and people fail it here ! go over seas and take a driving test . there 10 times harder .
I agree %110. I lament the poor driving skill and flat out dis courteousness of drivers here every day. I have a 70 mile round trip commute, mostly 6 lane freeway. People seem to think the far left is for cruising at the speed THEY want to, and never want to g ot the center. The left should be for overtaking ONLY, center for cruising, and right for slowest of drivers and exiting. Then you get on a 4 lane stretch and they will NEVER move over, because they will have to keep doing so repeatedly because of the speed variances, so they just plant themselves in the left lane.


No turn signals, coming off the on ramp and swinging all 3 lanes over without looking, it goes on and on. I HATE most American drivers.
