Why You Should Love Driving Washington’s Country Roads
I hate driving. You probably do too. Actually, let me restate that: I hate city driving. I hate the busy tangle of stop signs and roundabouts and signals and railroad crossings because, for each of these things, there are a dozen drivers not paying attention, ignoring the rules of the road, or driving recklessly. I hate having to drive defensively, checking around me in every direction for every little thing with the same fight-or-flight readiness that a rabbit on the open plains does.
5 Washington State Driving Laws People Still Don’t Understand
Spring is back in Washington State, and so are the idiot drivers who don't understand these simple rules. Are you one of those drivers where people always seem to be honking their horns at you? I would guess you are part of a large population of drivers who are stupefied by one of these 5 common Washington State driving laws. I can't tell if the issue is ignorance, laziness, or a little bit of both, but there are certain rules of the road that a large group of Washington State drivers are not following. These 5 simple things should be easy for everyone on the road holding a valid license to understand. Instead, I estimate about a third of Washington drivers really have no idea how to navigate our roads legally and probably should not be driving at all.
