I drive a lot, about 100k miles a year. There are some things we need to talk about.
First. Many states require that we slow down or move left for emergency vehicles on the shoulder. That law, again, is EITHER slow down, OR move left. Not move left and slow down. That's dangerous, a backup in the left lane for every speeder. If you can't move into the left lane, slow down. If you can move into the left lane, you don't need to slow down.
And an even bigger issue is people moving left for onramp oncoming traffic. Seems like truckers started this, helping each other get in, and I understand that. They have a lot of weight and momentum and don't want to brake for a merger. But now it seems most people are doing this and it's causing a problem. People merging onto the highway now seem to expect everyone to move left for them, and they don't yield to traffic already on the highway. Well, there are many times that you can't get over and every time that results in a near collision. The guy coming down the ramp looks at you like you're an idiot, even though he just passed a sign that said "Merge". "Merge" means the other people already have the right of way, and you must merge into traffic. That often times means you must slow down to get in behind someone.
When most of us were taught to drive, we learned to start looking early, so that we could see the traffic pattern and adjust to it and merge in. Today these kids, and others, just fly down the ramp, get all the speed they can, and into the right lane they come, other traffic be damned. You may want to talk to your young drivers about these things.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
