When really bored I often surf the mad house of internet videos often opening some road rage/stupid driver site and it’s amazing what can occur in a seemingly simple situation. ---

No offense but if you have driven in Indiana where the trucks are limited to 65 and everyone else is going 70, it is a dangerous mess. Constantly moving from right lane to left lane and a hazard instead of a free flow of traffic. Drive with the flow of traffic. ---

Actually quite a lot over 800 miles and a time change. ---

I’ll wave when I drive by. Minnesota friendly. ---

You will need to stop for gasoline every 200 miles, so you will have the opportunity to wave more than once. ---

I go 50 Damn if I am never over 10 to 15 mph to keep up with the flow of traffic. You should have a big sign on the back window like I saw occasionally, “Pass Kindly Please” ---

Funny how I never any horns or birds flipped at me. And drivers ramping on ahead of me seem to appreciate my flik-flik of the high beams, encouraging the nervous ones to go ahead, merge. ---

What’s the problem? The sign says to STOP … lol … ---

My wife is from South Dakota so never passed a Minnesota test. When we were first married she saw the sign saying stop ahead and thought it meant to stop ahead instead of just saying there was a stop sign ahead. Took a while. Working on snow making ahead in the summer. ---

I concur w/wife on that one. “Stop ahead” is ambiguous. It could be interpreted as “Stop!!!” “A Head !!!” … lol … ---

From not long after I began driving, I had always interpreted “Stop Ahead” to mean that a Stop-signed intersection was imminent. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > I concur w/wife on that one. “Stop ahead” is ambiguous. > > It could be interpreted as “Stop!!!” “A Head !!!” … lol … The 1st time I saw one with a friend in the car, she reached over and slapped my forehead and held her hand there and said the road sign said to stop a head… then just laughed… So it was a long running joke to slap someone’s head whenever you would see it written on the road… But I/we always new what it meant as there had been a stop sign coming up already for years… 😆 ---
