I will admit to being new to Oregon after getting here from DFW about 10 days ago. And I have been trying to balance driving safely while admiring the views with being mindful of other drivers and allowing them to pass on the left when a turn-out area (or whatever they’re called) presents itself on mostly-one-lane-each-direction roads.
But sometimes, man, these people wanna go 25 miles over the limit on winding mountain roads. I’ll go 10, maybe 15 mph over when it’s safe to do so and I’m going with the flow of traffic. But I’m new to the state, new to mountain driving, and have no idea the prominence of cops and staties and their speeding ticket quotas in this place. Basically, if you see my Texas plate, please don’t ride my ass…I’ll move over as soon as I can!
