[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 159507, member: 20316"] I went to high school in a small tourist town. Lake Chelan is a cute little vacation spot on a lake in the mountains and has a resident population of probably 2500-3000, but in the summer it multiplies exponentially. We have everything from college partiers heading for the beach to blue-hairs on their way to the casino to multi-families at the RV Park. This is such a tiny town that traffic is insane, pedestrians are suicidal, the boats and PWCs on the water are worse, and since it’s not their town, everyone seems to feel they can be a jerk without repercussions. I hated it. They are either barreling through the downtown and park areas at thrice the limit or going 25 (I’m not exaggerating, that’s true) on the windy 2-lane highway (posted 45) between Manson (where the casino and lots of condos are) and Chelan. I will admit I pissed a lot of people off on that highway by passing in less than optimal places, passing multiple car strings and tailgating ([i]sometimes[/i] it makes them speed up. This worked better when I drove a 25-year-old lifted pickup). I just couldn’t take it anymore! You want my theory? I know a lot of people from urban/metro areas where all the highways and major streets are multi-lane don’t ever learn how to pass. So when they go to visit a more rural area with 2-lane highways, they aren’t comfortable putting on their turn signal and going into the other lane to pass. So instead they group up, tailgate each other and then get freaked out when someone isn’t afraid to pass them. That’s just an observation on my part—maybe it’s only around here. But when all these Seattle-ites go to east WA for vacation, they just can’t seem to get out and pass people. [/QUOTE]
