Question question for peep in Wisc

Just a quick question for those people who live in wiscowson..

Do they teach you people in drivers education that semi's can stop on a dime and have nine cents change??

It seems most people from Wisc that drive over here in Iowa drive in the left lane no matter what speed they travel (normally 5 mph under the posted limit), wont get out of the way for nothing. They also seem to love to pull in front of big trucks, not just mine... I have seen it happen and heard many hands talk about it.

Sorry not tryin to anyone from Wisc. just would like to know whats up with yall

People from Wisconsin never speed. Their tickets are so expensive, and they have very ambitious law enforcement officers. That's what they use the left lane and go slower. I'm sure they laugh at the Minnesota drivers who drive through it passing everyone on the highway only to be pulled over a mile ahead. oh well

I hate driving in Iowa. Dumb 65 mph speed limit. I am looking forward to not having to drive thru on I-35 more than once or twice a year to visit inlaws in Minnesota.

It a mix of drivers up here. Every state has bad ones and good ones. We do laugh at those from other states who get pulled over. I'm suprized you're not inquiring about FIB's, they are by far much worse than us.

Lightbulb Take a little journey

You need to come down south. If you think its bad up there, our al drivers think the left lane is the slow lane and the right is for passing. This gets interesting when some of the wonderful, school trained drivers hit the roads. Its more like a freefor all. (get by where ya can).. but seriously, I think that all states have our share of the blue hairs, and wheel peekers.

I'm from Wisconsin and I'm going to take my driver's test today. I hope I'm like like the people you described, if I am, I'll try my hardest to change cause I don't like those kind of drivers either.
