    I’ve been to every state and usually people drive like chickens with their heads cut off. They haul ### past me sometimes cutting me off sometimes not. Now the only state Oregon these people drive as if they are stoned or mentally challenged. Anyone else experiencing this? They drive below the speed limit usually pass me at 1/4 mile an hour takes them 25 miles to pass it’s like wtf dude? Then they cut me off usually leaving only about a car length in front of me. And I mean like every car does this and this only happens in Oregon! Why do people in this state drive like this??? Also every trucker is usually only going 60mph speed limit is 65 for cars and 60 for trucks but you can go 5 over idk I never got a ticket.

    In experience OR has been one of the better states for freeway travel. Most (not all) merge on in a way that doesnt impede me and with all the traffic the freeways seem to move alright.

    But Ive only been there a few times.

    Idk about all that every car try’s to merge infront of me usually going over to the shoulder every car will absolutely try to squeeze their way in front of me in merging traffic in Portland there. I mean it’s crazy some truckers don’t know the right of way one blew his horn at me before a railroad track today he had a stop sign I didn’t so when it was time to roll he was butt hurt because he was there first like a cry baby lol

    It's just Oregon bro. WTF tarded. You'll have the same with trucks some days. The granola's get on in their Subaru's doing like 40 or 45. Drive in the middle or hammer lane.

    Now they're high on top of it.

    It's a lot better off the interstates. They don't like going off the interstates much-get lost.

    Just Oregon.

    Maybe Mt Hood is venting something into the air. It Will go dormant and oxygen will get back into peoples brain soon.

    They drive better up there than down in the south, in my opinion.

    But like I said, its an opinion from only a few visits.

    It bothers me when people blame bad driving on weed. For as busy as Colorado is, I don't see weed affecting driving much. I'd say distracted driving poses a far greater risk. Besides, wasted drivers usually don't go very far, if they drive at all. You folks may as well get used to it, or get out of driving. I see Illinois just legalized it too. It's not going away any time soon, unless they come up with a better way to reap $300 million dollars in tax revenue a year, like Colorado.

    There will be even more revenue if they start selling legally heroin and cocaine. Rehabilitation business will boost. Funeral home business will boost.
