What’s the issue? If you’re in the right lane and somebody going faster than you passes on the left, then everything is just fine. And you want them to go past at a higher rate of speed so they aren’t creating a rolling roadblock next to you. (see: speed limited trucks passing speed limited trucks)

99%? There are way more crashes due to potholes, mechanical failures, and health issues than 1 in 100.

“Pass with purpose.”

Related to that one, just don’t stay precisely next to another car, blind spot or not. Either pass or get behind rather than contributing to a two-lane rolling roadblock.

Would add, “stop camping in the left lanes.” They’re all passing lanes except the one on the right.

There’s a big difference between a good zipper merge and people dive-bombing down to cut in front of other people. Good zipper merges should involve both lanes at the same speed.

Agreed. Equally, if you’re merging, adjust your acceleration so that you fit into the gap on the freeway because it’s not that driver’s job to let you in.

Keep right, pass left. Should have been on this list.

There are a lot of unbreakable rules. “Keep right except to pass” should be on the list. “Actually go when the light turns green (after looking).” “Don’t block the box.” “Zipper merge, but don’t be an asshole.”

Suggestion #1: there appear to be four drag strips in Delaware - and one in Maryland that’s much closer to Wilmington.

I wish they were still part of Treasury. Would love to see the Secretary of the Treasury try to stop a former President from driving the car his dead son rebuilt for him.

OK, yes, but the outage also started in the middle of the night - and there are many fewer flights overnight than during the day. (Southwest, for instance, simply doesn’t fly overnight, for reasons that are too funny to get into.) It would be more useful to see a side-by-side playback of Wednesday night into Thursday

Incorrect. One-third of crashes have been “speed-related,” but that’s an extremely broad category and doesn’t tell the whole story. The classic example: An extremely drunk driver exceeds the speed limit and crashes into a tree. The crash is noted as drunk driving and a speed-related crash.

Wonder what they could do in new construction with geothermal cooling - essentially have the tunnel bores have a whole bunch of “hairs” leading into the rock to pick up the consistent 40-70 degree F temperature as a heat exchanger.

“Full height” refers to the doors’ height compared to the train. They don’t enclose the train area - as your example shows, air is shared inside and out of the doors once you get above 8 feet.

I’d really love to hear an ice cream truck version of “The Entertainer.”

A rest stop on the Ohio Turnpike, somewhere near Cleveland.

The phone thing turned me into a fan of these camera/photosensor systems. At least then, the controller can extend the green phase to account for the lollygagger.
