The 3 Worst (and Most Dangerous) Driving Habits on American Roads Today Virginia roads aren’t always dangerous, but we’ve all seen drivers who have a habit of disregarding the rules of the road and common courtesy. There are times when you’re commuting or running errands and you want to pull your hair out. Of course, there are bad drivers all over the country, and their habits can result in severe injury or death. Here are three examples of those habits: Left Lane Coasting Most drivers know the left lane is intended to be used as a passing lane, but some drivers love to make it their personal lane, even at the risk of being pulled over. It only makes matters worse when they aren’t driving any faster than the rest of traffic, which prevents other drivers from passing. Some drivers try to move things along by flashing their brights or honking, but that doesn’t always work. Drivers who clog up the left lane slow the flow of traffic and increase the risk of an accident. Closing the Gap When merging or turning, most of us use our turn signal. However, there are some drivers who see turn signals as a threat — really! They see you want in, so they speed up to close the gap, making it dangerous to merge. To make things worse, you now have to slow down to merge. When you slow down, the person behind you has to slow too, which causes a ripple effect. This is how traffic
jams are created — all because someone didn’t want to lose their precious spot in traffic.
Tailgating This is one of the most dangerous driving behaviors. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, tailgating is the cause of about 23% of all rear-end collisions. The danger increases significantly if the driver is tailgating while intoxicated. Driving under the influence dulls reaction time, so if the driver in front brakes, it can easily lead to disaster.

Yoshi and Sonic
FESTIVE APPLE CIDER
If your family is full of video game lovers, they’re probably familiar with two of the most famous animals in video game history: Yoshi and Sonic. But what about their backstories?
Inspired by BoulderLocavore.com
Yoshi T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas is the full name of the Nintendo’s dinosaur-like character, according to the company’s character guide from 1993. Yoshi’s inspiration comes from the 1984 video game Devil World, which featured green lizards that eat enemies with their large mouths and emit Yoshi’s signature giggle when they hatch. Sonic You could say that randomNewYorkers chose this hedgehog’s ultimate design. When Sega created a flagship series to rival Nintendo’s Mario, game designer Naoto Ohshima took character sketches with himon a trip to the Big Apple where he asked randompassersby in Central Park to choose a design. The spiky blue hedgehog won.
