    I wish America would design their roads like Kansas City roads. On merges where they have a a short distance to merge before the paint line runs out but the shoulder extends for miles, they should just modify that paint line to allow the idiot 4 wheeler to gain more speed before merging.

    I cruise the center lane or left if I can. But if you wanna side swipe me because you can’t merge be my guest...

    I get out of the way for trucks though or I’ll hit the brakes if I have to. Governed or not most trucks aren’t gonna be doing freeway speed by the time the ramp ends.
