All that I can say is WOW, now, I don't know that the general public in Oregon would do much better. But, wow.

<-- Washington drivers not paying attention
<-- Washington DOT wasting money

This is why I moved to Illinois. If they aren't smart enough to follow basic driving guidelines you think they are smart enough to read, think, and drive at the same time?

the signs should just say "maintain a 2 second following distance". (i like 3-4 on the highway, but that might just be me). it does not take a degree in city planning to count the ammount of time between yourself and another driver. when they pass a line count until you pass a line. since you are counting the time, not the dots, it will relate to the speed, not the distance.

one thing i will say for washingtons DOT, they do some things up there i wish Oregon would do.

two Examples:
A.those signs that tell you to pull damaged cars to the side of the road before exchanging insurance info. in oregon i have seen people stop IN THE FAST LANE to exchange info after a mild fender bender. it's bad enough when they stop in the middle of surface streets, but the freeway... come on

B. signs along the HOV "carpool" lane with a number to call to rat people out. oregon has no such hotline, or if they do they sure don't advertise it.

I hate that rule.........you'll get a bunch of people on there cell phones to "rat" people out, who wont be paying as close attention to the road, thus resulting in more unaware drivers and a greater potential for traffic accidents.

I don't care if someone uses the carpool lane who's in a hurry, it keeps them from tailgating me.

The problem tends to be the people on their brakes at the last second, not the spacing...
