re: #236 Honorary Yooper

Had them do that shit occassionally here. Usually I lay hard on the horn until the dipshits move. More often than not, it’s that they try to enter the freeway at 40mph just in front of me. I’m afraid I’m going to get splatted by a truck because some asshole entered the freeway at 40 or below just in front of me.

Around Chicago some of the freeway interchanges, especially on the Edens Expressway, have intermingled cloverleaf interchanges where the on ramps cross with the exit ramps. Makes for some interesting situations where you have cars trying to accelerate to 60mph intermixed with cars trying to deaccelerate from 60 mph. My dad used to scratch his head and mutter bad things about the engineering geniuses who came up with that design.
