A psa from the editor
Listen to me now people. I know there's a lot of you that have cars for the summer that don't usually drive in Philadelphia, and I want to teach you a little something about a road we Philadelphians like to call The Schuylkill. The take away catch phrase from this lesson is "Pass left, drive right." Seriously, it is mostly a two lane highway, and when some jerk feels as though going five miles over the speed limit is adequate justification for camping out in the left lane, there is a two mile traffic jam equivalent to the aftermath of a 4 car pile up. In all actuality, it really doesn't matter if you're poking along or driving like a bat out of hell: if you're in the left lane and some one comes up your tail, swallow your pride and move into the slow lane. It's okay that you're not the fastest person on the road. But by stubbornly putting along in left lane you are screwing everyone over. For all the trouble you cause, you might as well have flipped your car spilling babies and puppies onto the freeway. I thought this concept was basic driver's ed and not that difficult. But apparently the general population is failing to grasp this simple concept, so I feel it is my duty as Summer Street editor to cast some light onto the subject. Now you can't say you didn't know. You've been warned, so if I catch you clogging up traffic again, I will kill you. Really, I'm not kidding
