Yeah no worse driving than in car pool line. Except if you count
parents doing 40 through a residential neighborhood. Apparently kids
aren't supposed to play outside anymore :( It never seems to surprise
me people's lack of patience. I particulary hate people that drive
down the center lane for 300 yards to get a a left turn lane. I've
lived in many places and Raleigh Stinks as far a driver courtesy is
concerned. Detroit even has better drivers(even if they don't have
insurance). While I'm ranting does no-one down here know your
supposed to pull to the side for emergency vehicles?
