That's awesome that they can do a trust system like that. We can't really do that over here.

Yes, but it is a rural back road, so mostly people who work in one area use this road really. And students. Man, I'm already ready for school to be out again. I almost got in a head on collision this morning because this lady was hugging the line going around a blind curve. Then she decides to go completely over when she was about by me. Not the first time this has happened. Once I was coming up to a curve with enough time to see a teen driving completely in my lane with no care. I just stopped. If I got hit it would be 100% his fault. He figure out wtf he was doing before he hit me.

I'm kind of a crazy driver but only on the highway. In places where there could be people walking on or near the road, I tone it down. I have had an older woman almost collide with me head on because she reached down for something and swerved right into my lane. I had to pull onto the grass to avoid getting hit.

I hate distracted drivers. Well people who are on their phone. My state now treats phone the same as drunk driving. Get caught 3 times you lose your license. Just touching your phone while driving is enough to get you pulled over and ticketed. Like I know I'm not the best driver but I have never hit anyone or anything and I know how to stay I'm my own lane. Most times. Thete one time when the cops were setting traps to ticket people for not getting over for pulled over cars and I ended up in the middle of the road cuz I didn't have enough time to get over so I just went back over, but I was just didn't want to get a tick t because that is the one law I will always follow.

My state has been cracking down on that too. My home state is trying to as well but there are so many people on the road over there that its difficult.

What is your home state?
I went through a drive through that had two separate lanes for ordering. This lady wasn't going so I was like okay, I will. She wasn't going because she was busy talking on her phone.

My home state is Massachusetts. In western Mass they've been cracking down, but in eastern Mass where I grew up, its too chaotic and there's too many people.

That sounds crazy. I usually don't see a lot of people on their phones around here (I live rural though) and the craziest it gets is having to sit through a traffic light twice during rush. It's still a good law to have.

Eastern Mass rush hour is no joke thanks to Boston. There are times of the day that's even okay to ride the break down lane on the highway because traffic gets so intense.

I would not be okay with that. I panic still trying to switch lanes for a turn that's still another 5 minutes away with minimal cars on the road.
