well where do i start,

people from ohio that come to a curvy two lane wv road, they must do half the speed limit and slam the brakes on at every turn.

seems that most people around here drive like everywhere else, they don't know how a stop sign works, ( first to stop has the right of way) so they will stop and wave three people by.

and in a 55 mph section with no passing zone the max speed they do is 45mph, but if there is a passing zone the 45 mph moving car must speed up to 65, then as soon as it is over slam on the rakes back to 45 mph. but if ur a coal minor there is no speed limit it is all wot.

there is a turn ahead, posted speedlimit is 55mph the sign to warn u about the bend says 50mph, so let slow to 30 mph to go around it.

signals are not need and hell some times both brake lights are blown out too. or if the signal is used u must put it on .5-.75 miles ahead of time to warn people( state law says 200 feet)

the left lane on a four lane ( two lanes each way ) is for out of staters to drive slow and look around. also for grandpa to to cruise at 10-15 under the posted limit.

when ur entering a two lane road( one each way) u must , i mean must wait till the approaching car/truck is about 20 feet away then pull out and never reach 1/2 of the posted limit.

if ur diving a cruiser bike, u must pulse and glide at 20 mph intervals. no matter what.

also ur on the four lane u exit is 2 miles ahead pass veryone on the road and cut them off to pull off.
i have had a car to follow me down the highway for about 15 miles, while i was following a rig, then the car went to pass got his/her rear bumper by my front and signaled , he/she wanted me to yeild to them. so they could cut in front of me to pull off, when there was no other cars on the road. i didnt let them over and they slowed and blew the horn at me. as the exited there highway, i returned with a one finger salute.

my self i use signals, i like to drive the posted speed limit or at least 5 mph around it, i have been known to pass on a solid line, if it is clear, if the car is goin 15 or more mph under the posted limit, but only where they are no building or houses. that is my bad habit, i dont speed to much and very rarely.
