While I don't agree with not using turn signals and cutting people off, most people have no clue how to correctly use a merge lane. If the merge lane is empty before the actual merge point, then it isn't being used properly. If the merge lane is moving faster than the rest of traffic, get on over there and use it properly.

Here is one of many articles you can find about it: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/zi...-courtesy-rules-state-laws-heavy-traffic.html
Oh I completely understand. If people always used them like the zipper method, it would be great. But, people either line up in the lane they need to be in, or try to shove more than one at a time from the merge into the main lane.

Like always, things are great ideas on paper as long as everyone plays ball. But not all humans play ball, and they ruin it for everyone else.

That looks like it sits a little higher than many of the others. I can see why it would interfere with the sensors.
I really do not have anything to compare it to other than my standard hitch , so I can't really comment on the height compared to others that are similar. It does fit well in the contours of the OEM bumper and seems to be relatively even with the rest of the lower portion of the bumper. I have attached a few pics and it makes it more clear why it ingadges the sensors. I think it looks great and matches the Jeep very well ( I still need to shim it and fine tune the fitment)... it just makes reverse very annoying and makes it more difficult to detect a real obstacle.

We need to meet, you can talk to me, do you like beer?? you see all the same things I do, your off on a couple,

10. Remember red light is cell phone time, everyone check in on Facebook and update that you have moved 2 blocks and check in at the new light!! and remember just cause its green you don't have to go wait..... 30, 45, 85 seconds before you move a 125 yards and finally get to 27mph, its OK nobody wants to go anywhere........

11. When your on a major highway/interstate,

1. when everyone else slows from posted speed limit to stopped, because 1 tourist touched his brake pedal 4 miles ahead, remember drive 25-35 miles per hour, for the next 7 to 10 miles till you realize that wow, I'm actually driving a car and maybe I should get moving!!!!!!! you simple fuck!

2. if traffic is moving on the roads that run north to south 75/95, if four lanes of traffic are moving pretty good, say 75 to 85 miles per hour, do you have a out of state tag??? You, yes, you! have the privilege to run 20-30 miles per hour faster than the flow of traffic cutting people off running upon inches of the back bumper, passing in the grass, passing in the brake down lane, anything to get ahead of the car that's already speeding!!! and remember, people, when you lose control of your car, on a straight road, from either falling asleep at the wheel, or texting and driving, drunk, looking at FB or IG, please show that you have excellent driving skills by jerking the wheel left or right whichever is best, and stomp that fucking brake pedal as hard as you can, bend it, put it through the floor board, cause you'll stop and be safe, as soon as you bounce off every guard rail for the next 200 yards,

simple rants from one who has been driving in this state for to many years, sigh!!!

I understand that nobody thinks this is funny, Cafecito and I were just having a "rant" session and belly aching about the driving in Central Florida area, but everything he and I mentioned is the truth, and that's the way its done here, Yes, its sad, 2 months ago I quit a job in the Universal area of Orlando, defense contractor, it was because of the pay, work, life, home balance, tolls and the driving in the area........ now I drive east and build rockets, no tolls!

Hi somewhat neighbor. I stopped going on the Wilbur/Merit a long time ago just for that reason. Plus all of the MA NY drivers just sitting in the left lane.
