Pennsylvania Warning

January 26, 2009 Blog

Sorry about the lapse in my blogs. I have tried to write at least one per week, but we spent 15 days in Austria over the holidays and all last week we were in Lancaster.

Which brings me to the next blog. When you cross a state line driving into Pennsylvania, the first sign you see warns of aggressive drivers.I was especially cautious driving in Pennsylvania and managed to get in and out without getting hit by an aggressive driver.

New Jersey Warning

When driving from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, you see a large overhead sign that reads, "Report Aggressive Drivers!"

I breathed a sigh of relief. I could finally relax and drive without fear of aggressive drivers running into me.

I promptly rear-ended a minivan at a crossing.

The light had turned green but the first vehicle in line was trying hard not to be aggressive and just stood there. I applied the brakes, but the wet pavement and my tires refused to cooperate. The minivan's plastic bumper and my car's plastic grille were broken in the mishap. My headlights still worked, but they lit up people's bedroom windows when I drove past. Because that might be deemed aggressive, I decided to make the necessary repairs.
