And the HTPINK has been hit twice already! (Once in an accident and another in the parking lot.) The one thing we have not seen is highway patrol. In VA and TX, cops were everywhere, enforcing RULES. California passes thousands of absurd laws, but does not have the money to enforce them. With such a cash poor state government, there are few cops patrolling. Locals say police are everywhere, but apparently these locals have not been to the east, where cops are REALLY everywhere. Merging lanes is insanely difficult and frightening, as most do not bother with turn signals. At work we have been facing a rising number motorcycle fatalities as sailors are buying bikes to save gas but have to drive on these dangerous road-ways. Driving in California is really one of the scariest things I have ever encountered.

#1 Threat: Drivers!
The most dangerous place in America has to be behind the wheel of a car. I have driven all across this country, but have never been as scared as I am here in California. We can discern no rhyme or reason for the way drivers non-chalantly change lanes at all speeds. We have seen fiery crashes, fender benders, and motorcycle fatalities.
