Link: Detroit Driving Tips
So you think you want to see the Superbowl

A friend pointed out this link about driving in Detroit for those of you coming into town for the superbowl.

My two favorites:

"The minimum acceptable speed on I-696 and I-275 is 85, regardless of the posted speeds.  Anything less is considered downright SISSY. Oh, and don't even think of allowing more than one car length between cars!"

"If you are in the left lane, and only going 70 in a 60 mph zone, people are not waving because they are so friendly in Detroit. I would suggest you duck."

I'll add a couple observations of my own:

. In Detroit, speed limits aren't really an absolute, it's more of a reference point. Doing 70 mph in a 70 mph zone means "I'm really freakin' late now."

. The official driver's motto in Detroit:  "We built em, we know how fast they'll go."
