Blatantly stolen from Kristina....

I stole this...

Yes I'm a bad person....

Yes it was worth it!

PHOENIX, ARIZONA
1. You must learn to pronounce the city name. It is: "FEE - niks".

2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00a to 10:00a. The
evening rush hour is from 3:00p to 7:00p. Friday's
rush hour starts on Thursday morning.

3. The minimum acceptable speed on all freeways-I-10, I-17, U.S. 60, Loop 202 -- is 85 mph. You may only exceed that speed on Loop 101, where the speed is allowed to match the highway number. Anything less is considered wussy.

4. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Phoenix has its own version of traffic rules. Cars/truck with the loudest muffler go next at a four-way stop. The truck with the biggest tires go after that. (Note: East Valley cell phone-talking moms ALWAYS have the right of way.)

5. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed out and possibly shot.

6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously.

7. Construction is a permanent fixture in Phoenix. Detour barrels are moved around during the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting.

8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks,
skunks, dogs, barrels, cones, cows, horses, cats,
mattresses, shredded tires, squirrels, rabbits, crows,
vultures, javelinas, roadrunners, and the coyotes
feeding on any of these items.

9 . You must know that Maricopa Freeway, Papago Freeway and the I-10 are the same road.

10. To find anything in Phoenix, it is required to know where Central and Washington are. This is our Alpha and Omega-the Beginning and the End.

11. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been accidentally activated.

12. If you are in the left lane, and only driving 70 in a 55-65 mph zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be flipped off accordingly.

13. Ground clearance of at least 12 inches is recommended for city driving.

14. You are allowed to wear potholders to protect your
hands and fingers during summer driving.
