One thing I like about denver drivers is they merge at highway speed. Unlike californians that are terrified to merge in front of a slow truck. Atlanta wasn't as bad as everyone says it is, either that or I was just lucky. I thought Cincinnati was worse. Cincinnati was enough to solidify me to never want to see jersey or the rest of the North east haha.

I agree about Denver drivers knowing how to merge. It's one of their few redeeming qualities I guess haha. In Cincinnati (or Sin-Sin-Naughty, as my GPS lady sometimes calls it) and Columbus, after a while you start to wonder if cars up there aren't equipped with turn signals.

Didn't you know that Ohio has banned the use of turn signals for 4 wheelers?

I mentioned to my cousin about how laid back the colorado drivers are and she just laughed and said it was probably because they are all stoned lol.

Yep. They ARE!

Your timing is good. It snowed today and so the roads in Denver will be clear tomorrow. Always call the 511 line to get your road conditions update.
