Hiya Members,
I don't know about other cities but i think Chicago has to be one of the worst places to drive. I mean to tell ya they are crazy! Here is the typical rules of the road for a Chicago driver.
When approaching a stop sign....never ever make a complete stop...always roll thru it.
Been there, done that. Commonly known as a "Calfornia Stop"
When traffic merges down to one lane.....always always barrel house to the front of the line. NEVER merge with the flow of traffic.
Ohhh Lordy, that's now common everywhere.."I'm late, I'm too busy to wait" ohhhh...This is common..
When a driver has on their turn signal....never ever slow down and let them in. Always sped up.
Seen it, done it too...Guilty...
When looking for a parking space...and another car finds it first.....make a mad dash to get the spot first..and when get out of the car walk proud of your accomplishment!
Heh! It cost a guy $3,500 for doing that. Fine? No, he HIT me! HIs insurance went up as it was his third time!
When the light turns yellow....dont slow down and stop! No no no......put your foot to the pedal and screech across that intersection.
Guilty and yes this is common out west too.
When the light turns green....dont wait a split second for the driver in front of you to take off.......Blow your horn frantically at the driver.
Not too common here, but have seen such in Seattle..
When at a four way stop....remember its always you first....even if you just pullled up...by all means you are first!
Did that once, but it was accidental. One other time had the other drivers scared as I was driving a lifted PU which was rather nasty looking.
Always make sure you flip the other driver the bird........call him every name in the book when you feel he is in the wrong even if you are wrong you are always right!
(Hangs Head) Guilty...
Sometimes when i am in the car...i pretend i have a bebe gun.......and i blow out all there tires..bang bang....lmaooo...it helps!
Knew a guy who had one of those "Sound emitters" (Laser, and such) I think nothing beats a good old .45 cal to make you feel better..(No I never have done that!)
Are drivers as crazy where you live as they are in Chicago?

Ohhh...It comes and goes with drivers...Only one time I can remember a nasty incident was a (Sorry, but true) female was racing home and they were closing Hwy 84 and she shot into the section just as a guy was putting out cones.
She hit him, broke both legs and arms.
She got 5 years for that...DUI, suspended license already on her sheet...
