Ah, I feel for you all. About 4 months or so ago, they opened a new left lane exit off a certain freeway in Portland, OR (they have lefthand exits on I-5 on the bridges). For days beforehand, every newscast mentioned this and urged caution. The day before they opened the new exit, that's all you heard all day long, on radio, on TV, from your neighbors, etc. You'd think people would have figured out they were opening a new left lane exit. But noooooo, the news that night showed screeching tires and last minute jerks on the steering wheel. Complete overload. They had plastic barrels up, outlining the exit lane, they lasted about 15 min. before the cars creamed them.
Great drivers, really alert, in Portland.
I don't know how these people get out of bed in the morning without tripping over their own feet.
