>>BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN CONNECTICUT

>>

>>1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Connecticut driver

>>never uses them.

>>

>>2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and

>>the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else,

>>putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

>>

>>3. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the >chance you

>>have of getting hit.

>>

>>4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it

>>and it will result in you being rear-ended.

>>

>>5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork.

>>Connecticut is a no-fault insurance state and the other guy doesn't have

>>anything to lose.

>>

>>6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your

>>ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal

>>pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

>>

>>7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way

>>to scare people entering the highway.

>>

>>8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a suggestion and are

>>apparently not enforceable in Connecticut during rush hour.

>>

>>9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or

>>move over doesn't mean that a Connecticut driver flashing his high beams

>>behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

>>

>>10. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even

>>someone changing a tire.

>>

>>11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Connecticut is the home of the high-speed

>>slalom driving thanks to the State Highway Department, which puts

>>pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on

>>their toes.

>>

>>12. It is traditional in Connecticut to honk your horn at cars that don't

>>move the instant the light turns green.

>>

>>13. Remember that the goal of every Connecticut driver is to get there

>>first by whatever means necessary.

>>

>>14. In the Connecticut area, 'flipping someone the bird' is considered a

>>polite Connecticut salute. This gesture should always be returned. I

>>would also like to add:

>>

>>15. Just because there is a cell phone ban in effect, it doesn't mean

>>that you have to obey it. Truthfully, it's probably just a suggestion. "
