Sinceyou may be driving thru Phoenix on your way to SNF, I thought this
might be helpful.

   This one is funny because it is SOOO true....




       1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is:
       "FEE-NICKS".
       There are other names to learn such as Ahwatukee (Ah-Wa-Too-Kee) but
       that will be included in the advanced course.

       2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening
       rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday
       morning.

       3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph. On Loop
       101, your speed is expected to at least 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. For example, cars/trucks with the loudest
       muffler go first at a four-way stop; the trucks with the biggest
       tires go second. However, East Valley, SUV-driving, 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. It's another offense
       that can get you shot.

       7. Road construction is permanent and continuous in Phoenix. Detour
       barrels are moved around for your entertainment/pleasure 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. Maricopa Freeway, Papago Freeway and the "I-10" are the same
       road.
       SR202 is the same road as The Red Mountain FWY. Dunlap and Olive are
       the same street too. Jefferson becomes Washington, but they are
       not the
       same street. SR 101 is also the Pima FWY except west of I-17,
       which is
       also The Black Canyon FWY, and The Veterans Memorial HWY. Lastly,
       Thunderbird Rd. becomes Cactus Rd. but Cactus Rd. doesn't become
       Thunderbird Rd. because it dead ends at a mountain.

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

       11. 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. If you return the flip, you'll be shot.

       12. For summer driving, it is advisable to wear potholders on
       your hands.


We have pretty much the same rules here in Calif. The names are changed.
