...on the ground they have no concept of where the lanes should be or even how many lanes there are?

If you can't figure it out, at least hold your line for heaven's sake. And if you are going to change "lanes" (whatever your definition of lanes is) you still need to check your rear view mirror first.

Default they're all busy texting

or doing something to pass the time, that's what happens when you drive a boring car.

I prefer the side roads. Although, that has also proven unsafe. I got hit twice this month driving on side streets

Default I doubt it. Most are hunched over with a death grip on the wheel.

Snow is scary. Must follow tracks of the car in front of me.

Default totally agree...

about that. Between the people that drive like it is summer (too fast) and the others that are afraid of snow (with no-seasons or bald tires), driving while it is snowing today will be fun.

Glad to have my A4L with snows on. ;-P

My other gripe is the personal plow truck guys (hick-up truck with a blade) driving along with their blade in my lane (on a two way street). Your blade sticks out, be aware of it.

When I went to school in Avon I intentionally avoided 44 at all costs.
