you have obviously not spent time in our nation's glorious midwest; oblivion is the name of the game on the highways. when merging, if you don't look at the car next to you already on the highway with the right of way, it doesn't exist.oh god. Why do people in this state not know how to merge? The reason for all that traffic is because you refuse to get over when you should, and instead wait or rush for the last minute...then everybody slows down to accomodate your awful ass. I hope everybody who does this regularly bleeds out the ass for a week, simultaneously.
an additional note: minnesota is the only state i've been to that requires stop lights at every on-ramp merge onto interstates...
