About threw up while coming back from St. Louis into Illinois.

Just seemed we kept on getting slowed down in Illinois for some reason, Couldn't cross the Ohio river fast enough due to construction and the idiot drivers that wouldn't get over into the left lane until the last minute. SALK knows this, he and I have had our share of idiot drivers who wait til the last minute to get over thus causing a bottleneck.

 

Illinois is possibly a late-merge state

If you need to move over into the next lane to pass a vehicle, you don't look in your mirrors to check for traffic or signal, you just hope and change.

 

Hahahah, that's funny but I would have to say that is standard operating procedure for most people anyway.....
