(5,556 posts)1. I live on the Oregon coast, and the only way into Portland is a winding highway that has a 55mph maximum, and many areas where it is only one way in each direction. One day, I am tailgated by a fancy red imported sports car (with some sort of personalized plate bragging about how fast the car is) who passes me in a no-passing zone. A few minutes later, I pass him while he is at the side of the road, having a nice conversation with one of the many uniformed officers that patrol that road.
2. When I first drove to the Phoenix area from Los Angeles (40+ years ago), the highways stopped on the outskirts of town and resumed when you got to the other side. When the company I started working for soon after began sending me there, I marveled at how many freeways were being built all-at-once there. However, they were apparently a new idea to the driver near me at the top of the exit ramp. I was in the left lane waiting for the light to change. He was in the right lane, made a token display of stopping for the light before turning. He apparently noticed neither the "No right turn on red" sign, nor the motorcycle officer in the middle lane next to him. My windows were up and the air conditioning on, but I think I could still hear the words "Oh, hell no he didn't!" before the gentleman on the motorcycle turned on his lights and followed that gentleman.
