Re: Aggressive driving tips

Oh, that reminds me of a super-advanced move. Sometimes you'll see a real short off-ramp, then it intersects a street with a light and leads straight into an onramp. If you're driving along on the freeway (right lane as usual) and you see the light turn green, you can hammer it, jump up the offramp and back down the onramp.
This isn't so much for efficiency as just for the fun of it.

There is a freeway here in town where I've seen this move done specifically for efficiency. The Loop 101 through the Indian Rez adjacent to Scottsdale (and Casino Arizona) has a dedicated entry/exit lane and signals that are frequently green for the exit traffic, as well as the ability to drive straight ahead and get back on the freeway. One time the freeway was jammed and I noticed a bunch of drivers pulling this move, basically never leaving the exit lane. They were easily going 2X the speed of the rest of the traffic.
