“You wanna go to a karaoke bar?”
“I’m a little nervous bud. It can be scary.”
“Dude, it’ll be fine no one knows how good you are until you get up there and then I doubt any one would care.”
“Yes but neither do you and by that time it’s too late the folks are about to watch a horror film they didn’t sign up for!”

Stop and go on the interstate would almost never happen, even if there is a wreck in one lane. It would and probably should slow down some, but the stop and go is completely avoidable if we all could only merge properly.
zipper merge ftw.
A good portion of the on ramps around me having fucking stop signs on them right where you usually try to merge. It makes 0 sense to me.

Damn. Haven't seen stop signs on on-ramps, that sucks! Have seen the fast changing stop lights in CA that let a car or two go at a time and change every like 5 seconds. Don't know how well they moderate traffic, but merging is always easy. No one passing you from behind as you're merging.

On-ramps with stop signs at the end before merging onto the Freeway?

Sounds like a place where people regularly get rear ended.
Just a few weeks ago I hit a very short onramp to get on the interstate and traffic slowed down quickly just as I was about to merge and had to get on the brakes pretty good. Not squealing or anything, but a decent nose dive of the front of the car. Well, the person behind me was even later in reacting and I heard a CRASH! Someone had plowed into the back of the person behind me. Sheeeeit.
It wasn't serious and no one was injured I don't think, but both cars had to be towed.
Whew. Close one.

The speed limit is about to go from 35 to 75, better stop first.

I drove without insurance for 7 years without getting a ticket. So ya I like to follow the rules of the road.

We also have highways where you merge from the left straight into the fast lane too. We call it a 'merge or die'. Usually the on ramps are incredibly short too so, they're especially fun.

wtf I don't even know how I double posted this shit.

The DFW Texas area has it right. A lot of cities should take a blueprint of that highway system and put i over their town. It's like a hotwheels track there, so fucking amazing and useful.
Check it out people!

I do respect the rules of the road. I always use my blinker. Even though it doesn’t seem like anyone else does. I was hit with a car and killed in February 28 of this year. (Just a few seconds but whos counting?)
If that person had even thought for 1 second. To use their turn signal. Maybe they would’ve seen me in the crosswalk with the little guy telling me it was safe to walk… I was on a scooter and had a helmet on otherwise. I would be dead. Too bad more people don’t drive like us man. RIP Shroomery legend Big Worm
