28. One thing that always irks me about many of the drivers along the Oregon coast ...

they'll go about 5MPH under the speed limit for miles in the 'No Passing' sections, but as soon as you get to a place where there's a passing lane they speed up to prevent anyone except the most aggressive from passing them, then settle right back to their 'speed limit minus 5' routine as soon as you can't legally pass them anymore.

Super frustrating.

Makes me start to re-think my stance on capital punishment.
