Great. Another MD driver bashing thread. We didn't have enough of those.

It also means that drivers in the right most lane should not SPEED UP to cut off people merging. For yields, you should move over so that people can actually enter traffic.


Op here and that’s right. And when I say Marilyn drivers collectively, because I’m one of them, “we” are hazardous.


I just came back from North Carolina where they know how to drive and I was surprised at how nicely people yielded and moved over for each other. It’s a completely different way of driving, and much safer.


At least Maryland drivers know how to spell Maryland! Not Marilyn.

We know. But we don't care. You figure it out for yourself.

I'm going to move out of state, where the drivers are surely better.

That's it. That's all you need to get a license in Maryland. It explains so much though, doesn't it?


I picked the potato, still passed

Oh, come on. It's not that easy. They added one more question - Which one is "Yield" sign a) shows STOP, b) shows ONE WAY, c) shows School, and d) shows ALL OF THE ABOVE. i understand most people pick d.

No, all of us collectively are totally ignorant of this.

I think a lot of times, MD drivers see a turn signal as a challenge. They see a turn signal and immediately speed up to cut that sucker off.

I will say though that if you're hanging out in the right most lane (which you shouldn't be), you need to allow the person merging in.

No and they don't know how to use a 4 way stop either.
