Pennsylvania Drivers
Submitted by Anonymous on 30 September, 2008 - 9:20am.
I recently moved to Pennsylvania and noticed several differences in their driving habits. I have a list of 7 grievances. Five of them are plagiarized, two of them are original.
1. No one has the right of way at a stop sign. Just stare at each other.
2. At two way stop signs, all four directions are expected to stop, even those without stop signs. In fact, you should yield to those with the stop sign, sometimes, but not other times.
3. Anyone wishing to enter into traffic has the right of way, even if that means stopping all the traffic behind you to let that person in.
4. All drivers should occasionally just stop for no reason. Do not pull over of give any indication why you are stopping.
5. Yellow lights don’t mean anything, when the light turns red, the first car to the intersection continues through the red light.
6. The first person making a left turn at a light has the right of way in front of those going straight. Subsequent left turners must yield but should continue to edge bit by bit into oncoming traffic until someone stops.
7. Merging onto a freeway is impossible. Instead come to a complete stop and look bewildered considering how you will ever join the flow of traffic.

When driving in New Jersey
When driving in New Jersey make sure you get into the far left lane (the passing lane; or as it is known in PA, "my very own private lane") as quickly as possible and drive well below the speed limit, completely unaware of all other drivers, especially the ones behind you.
