Guenter in Ontario
Gas stations in Southern states (Georgia, Florida) make it tough to buy gas.
Gas pumps require ZIP code for pay at the pump, so foreigners have to stand in line twice at the counter. Once to authorize and then again to pay/get receipt. PITA and time wasting.

I don't understand why people tailgate. Do they really think they're going to get somewhere faster?
Never experienced it but I've read reports of UK car mag writers on the autobahn... MarcW - Monday, 4 April, 2011, at 11:15:23 pm |
Autobahn drivers likely have a greater trust because of lane discipline; thus formation driving. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 8:11:13 am |

Not recommended. I've read stories from people who have and it encourages road rage... MarcW - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 2:33:50 pm |
Is it illegal in all states? I know that in New Jersey it's considered road rage... Laz - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 4:58:40 pm |

In a few of these instances, I've even see the tailgating driver flash his vehicle's headlights on high and this is also illegal.
Truckers can literally be the most professional drivers on the road. Laz - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 6:36:29 pm |
Agree. But flashing your brights is illegal, at least in CA. I use the fog lights or ... MarcW - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 6:59:44 pm |
I mean the little yellow lights along corner edges and such. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 7:59:46 pm |
I've sometimes quickly dimmed my low beams instead, but that has to be illegal, too. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 8:06:22 pm |

I agree with Marc Guenter in Ontario - Tuesday, 5 April, 2011, at 6:03:26 pm |

Guenter in Ontario
My observations during our trip to Florida which took as down the eastern route I-90, 77, 85. Coming back was I-75. I guess I-75 is always under construction in Georgia. Best to avoid it.
