    You can get a ticket for going the speed limit if you are driving side by side with another vehicle and blocking traffic, without either overtaking the other vehicle or slowing to get behind the other vehicle. That's true in any state.

    God I could write a book of the things Ive seen and so could most thats been on the roads more then 2 days.

    Guess the stupidest thing in all my years has to be one morning going around Indy in rush hour traffic. This car pulls up beside me and I just had to look down. Traffic rolling at about 45 MPH,Everyone tailgating everyone. The driver has a baby cradled in her left arm breastfeeding from her right side.Using her right wrist to steer and had a cell phone in her right hand.All I could think was dear god please don't let her rear end something or that baby would be dead from either an airbag deploy or as the cushion between her and the steering wheel.To this day I pray that baby is still alive:(

    10 Rules To Drive in Atlanta, Ga

    1st --- You need A news paper, a book, office work, and a kid for the back seat. Just to be legally drive in the streets or Interstates system in Atlanta, or you fail to follow rule #9.

    2nd--- Drive at a speed 40 above the posted speed when driving on a more than 2 lane road.

    3rd--- If you see a big truck, race up to it and get aside of it in the blind spot and match his speed.

    4th--- When you need to exit get in the farthest inside lane, the do a 90 degree turn on the interstate. For other roads get in the opposite lane furtherest from the direction you need to turn.

    5th--- If you see a big rig, wait till he is close, then pull out in front and go 10 feet and turn left.

    6th--- If you fail to follow rule #3 cut in front of the truck and slam on brakes.

    7th--- If you follow rule #3 and you come up to your exit, Ignore rule #4. Follow rule #6. Then make your turn without a signal.

    8th--- If you have a kid, the child must not be in seat belts going from one side to the other.

    No they gave me the idea. 90% of my close calls were with people from Atlanta, even in St Louis MO.
