U S of A
Traveling towards capital of uncle SAMs country, 18 miles to go. Awesome scenic roads, 5 lanes expressway and not a single person cutting lanes, Driving rash. Back home we also have huge 6 lane expressway but driving on those roads is fairly competitive. Was surprised to see extreme two lanes not being used, when asked came to know left one is for emergency takes offs and extreme right is for emergency halts. Even when no traffic controllers are around people follow all rules even if they have to go through heavy traffic. Amazing. Hubby says standard practice while driving on highways here is to keep 6 seconds distance from vehicle next to you, newly arrived Indian driver in me is scared of having 10 other vehicles in between :) PS: climate today was told to be windy, does these people don't have STORMY word in their dictionary? I will not be surprised if I fly today. Literally.
