I love the affinity that the Americans have for their big pick up trucks, a highlight of my first trip stateside (and captured on film) was the diesel powered F250 towing a trailer with an older F150 on board, they passed us on a freeway out of Denver at over 70mph, got to pace them for a while, that truck sounded so good, almost as good as a K climbing up to Windy Point!

Oh, and my biggest "pet peeve"? It's "right turn on red AFTER STOP". Another rule most US drivers tend to ignore...

Umm, how do you ignore that one, do you mean they wouldn't turn?? We have one solitary turn like that here in Adelaide, I love it, should be more, the only problem is that being only one some stupid people don't realise you still have to give way to any coming traffic, so you have to be cautious when coming the other way.

We have the 'don't step on rail head' here as well, nobody has mentioned the old 'don't walk along the ROW between the rail heads' rule as well, is that one common to you fella's?
