    *ahem*

    The rolling roadblock is a thing in Ohio. Up until maybe 10 yrs ago, they used to actually have different posted speed limits for trucks vs. cars (truck speed limit was 5 or 10 mph lower). I think they got used to it and still drive that way. I hate it.

    In CA, a truck and anything with a trailer has a max of 55 mph. Even on roads that are posted 70 where most vehicles travel at 85-90. A buddy of mine once got a ticket for 63 mph on I-5 in a 70 mph zone a little south of Bakersfield.

    California has more laws than other states, you say.

    90% of the world's worst drivers live in Ohio, specifically between South Point and Cleveland. Which would be fine if they only drove there. Fuckers cross the river into WV and how they drive does not mesh with how we drive. I live within shooting distance of the Ohio river and am always baffled how people who live that close to us can drive that fucked up.

    The only upside is that northern Kentuckians hate em too and between us there are plenty of good memes about our shitty driving neighbors.

    Ha! Have you ever driven I-95 in south Florida? They give free licenses to people who promise to do 45 in the left lane.

    If you were down on I-70 they would be doing you a favor by holding you back from the Trooper that is ALWAYS trolling the last turn-around before Richmond.

    Must be the Ohio retirees who moved to Florida. 😆

    I think you meant "California has more laws than all other states-combined."😁

    You're all wrong, it's Michigan drivers that are the scourge of the freeways, and Northern Ohio is a great place to live.
