More rules for driving in Huntington
On this morning's editorial page (http://www.herald-dispatch.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060427/OPINION/604270316/1034), I gave some of the unwritten rules for driving in Huntington. Space did not allow me to print them all. Some that did not get in:
Anyone with Ohio plates on his car must cancel liability insurance before driving in West Virginia.
Any communication between drivers is limited to hand gestures featuring one finger only.
If you must make a left turn against heavy traffic in the middle of a block, just sit there and wait. It is too much to expect you to turn right and circle a block instead.
At any given time, 17.4 percent of cars with Ohio plates belong to West Virginians. So don't blame Buckeyes for all the bad driving committed in Ohio's name.
Tailgating is neither allowed nor encouraged. It is expected.
Any overhead sign at an underpass saying "No left turn" can be ignored.
If you have any more, please send them along.
