Today I'm traveling to pittsburgh going by gettysburg 10 o'clock to pick up a car and imediately realised that americans have no idea how to drive firstly the speed sign is just a option it has no relevance on how they drive they all drive at least 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit and I didn't find 1 person who stayed to the speed limit.
The second point is that we have nothing to complain about our roads' the roads here are very bad potholes, massive pot holes everywhere, there is specially in new york city lots of road works going on so you have quite often have to take detours all around the place. When you see a truck on a interstate have to swerve violently to avoid a pothole you know that the roads must be pretty bad.
And I should point out the second street I turned into the wrong way and had to quickly drive across the other side to least I got that out of the way early
It took me about 2 to 2 and a half hours once I pick up the car to get from laguardia, pick up the car to go through manhattan , jersey and to get out onto the freeways
So as I was heading to pittsburgh I decide to go down to gettysburg , on the way stopped off at the museum there and of course it's very American with very big flags everything has to see the stars and stripes.
Your thing I've noticed is that everything seems to be about freedom, freedom is on street signs back of cars, posters, for some reason they like to talk about freedom which to me is a strange thing is how this country has never been invaded.
Then took about 3 in a half hours to get to pittsburgh traveling by the interstate where the speed limit there was 65 everybody was doing 75 to 80.
