The only thing I dont like is surface streets in a city of a couple million+ that Im unfamiliar with. Half the time laid out like a clusterfuck so you have to know which lane to be in half a mile before you get there w/no signage.

When I was visiting a cousin in the Phoenix area I couldn't believe how crazy the highways were. It was like 6 lanes in each direction, bumper to bumper. Drivers were constantly cutting people off within inches to get in the proper lane. She looked terrified and goes through it every day on the way to work.

I don't even like 3 lanes but can handle it. More than that and I'm ready to have a panic attack.

I enjoy it in small to moderate trips.

Love it.

Most of the stuff people in here are complaining about goes away if you stay in the 75th percentile for speed. i.e. be going faster than 75% of traffic, you get a lot less of those moments that seem to terrify people. In other words, you are in control of where you go instead of other peoples driving happening to you.

Yeah I drove over 700 miles yesterday and was going 9 over most of the way. I passed drivers that were slowing things up and let those who want to go even faster pass me.

The only real close call I had was when a Chevy car tried to get over and if I hadn't been paying attention, I would've pitted him but I'm 90% certain I was just in his blind spot so it was mutual fault

Strongly dislike it. I really hope self driving cars become a feasible option in my lifetime.

I dont mind highway and small town driving. Big cities suck tho. Traffic, constant construction, about 100 feet of notice to make an exit or merge.

I live in a large city where it snows in the winter and its all construction in the summer, so no.
