39. A lot of PA drivers are rude on the highway - I see it all the time
Thu Jun 13, 2024, 12:37 PM
Jun 2024

I grew up in Pittsburgh and learned to drive here.

We used to think Pittsburgh drivers were courteous and a little slow. Well, driving the speed limit IS slow. Anytime we saw a driver going too fast and riding on someone's butt, we used to call them "New Jersey drivers."

Can't do that anymore, too many are from right here in Pittsburgh.

Not to say that Fetterman isn't at fault. He should probably make it a habit to drive during daylight hours.
