The Top 13 Roadway Pet Peeves That Drive Michigan Mad

In Michigan driving should be considered a sport. Maybe not even one? Let's see what games we play when we're behind the wheel every day:

Michigan Driving Olympic Summer Events

1. Slalem Pothole Evasion
2. Construction Zone Shuttle Runs
3. Orange Barrel Relay
4. The Hold My Beer Power Slide
5. He Went Doing What He Loved Mud Bog

Michigan Driving Olympic Winter Events

1. Car Curling on Ice
2. 500 Meter Skid
3. I94 Speed Skate
4. Highway Offramp Luge
5. Icy Parking Lot Freestyle

Michigan might give us 3 to 5 days of perfect driving conditions, so the rest of the time we have to keep our heads on a swivel looking out for whatever she may throw at us. We are so well versed in dealing with the Mitten State road conditions and the change in season that we remind one another every year "4-wheel drive doesn't mean 4-wheel brakes".
