			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p><strong>First:</strong> If we are going to share the road, please look further ahead than the next car. The GIANT flashing arrow that indicates your lane is closed ahead is not hard to see. Please share the road intelligently. I will let you in, unless I think you are trying to cut around the rest of us. Do you think your time is more important than mine?<br />

<p><strong>Second: </strong>Thanks to the guy that I pulled up next to, that lowered his tunes to tell me he liked the car. This car is 100% only for me, but its a fantastic feeling to have someone I don&#8217;t know tell me they think its cool. Seriously. Great boost when I really could use it. So thank you again my friend, and safe driving. Keep an eye out for motorcycles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Ok people, if we are going to continue to share the road on my new longer commute we need to set some rules.<br />
1. Use your turn signals. Seriously it&#8217;s simple and courteous<br />
2. Close the gaps. Why are we pulling up 2 car lengths when the turn light is green? Those gaps should be tight when you make your initial stop<br />
3. Let people out/merge, but do it when out lights are red! Thank you for letting people in, that&#8217;s awesome, but they can wait the 20 seconds until the light is red</p>
<p>I will post more tips as they come to me but these are my main gripes for today. Thanks!<br />
Together we can reduce road rage!</p>
