    Oregonians are polite to a fault. They drive too nice and they can't merge. When everyone drives too defensively and lets everyone in it slows everything down.

    And depending on where in OR you are, many/most are indeed stoned. Not as bad as Boulder, CO though.

    I'm pretty sure Portland got voted city with the most courteous drivers or something.

    Did she spring for turn signals? I hear they are prohibitively expensive and most BMWs don't have them.

    Now we're getting to the bottom of the real situation. Yep, 60 mph for trucks on the 5. Try running very far through there in a big truck at 65 or 67 mph. You will be lit up in a heart beat.

    I'm not a user of that green stuff, but I invested a decent chunk of money into a company that leases land to people looking to grow marijuana in states where it's legal. Made a pretty penny so far. (ticker: IIPR)

    Florida has the worst drivers of any place I've ever lived, foreign or domestic. I've never seen so many people using their phones while driving. They can't figure out how to stop behind the line at an intersection or they leave more than a car-length behind the line and two or more car-lengths behind the car in front of them while sitting at a red light. They absolutely will not move out of the left lane for the world. When it rains here, pretty much every day, they slam on the brakes & hit their flashers but stay on the interstate. It's not always older people either, it's usually the younger drivers. It's common to get stuck behind a truck in the left lane, still can't figure that one out? I remember driving in Oregon & the local drivers going crazy because I turned right on a red light. And then there was the guy in Eugene who came running out in the pouring rain at 3am because I was about to pump my own gas, I thought the place was about to blow up or something.

    You sir are correct. Florida is literally the worst.

    Just a reminder. Heroin is a trademarked name owned by the Bayer Company.
