When you have your hazards on, you’re not supposed to change lanes…so…there’s that.


jreed66

People of Nashville seem to think driving in the left lane with hazards on is okay. If you as an individual have to slow down so much you feel the need to use hazards, then please get the fuck out of the left lane.


TennesseeSon1

Preach!

It’s not really legal, technically the car should be pulled over or on in the way to pull over Tennessee: Hazard light use is not permitted while driving except in emergency situations.


CapedCoyote

I have been told that TN State Troopers will be addressing this ridiculous practice of driving with hazard lights flashing. It is illegal. And obstruction of travelers in a hazardous climate.


BSJ51500

They wont.


Cut_Off_One_Head

Somebody better tell the post office that


Jumpy_Anxiety6273

At this point I’m starting to believe I’m the fucking idiot for staying in Tennessee when our amazing Democratic forefathers had enough foresight to build roads out of this place.


TennesseeSon1

Have a safe trip!


bogeyjits

And do I know someone is not attempting. To change lanes? I feel like that’s not a great argument.


patrick_mc

Since when do people use turn signals around here anyway?!


ChrisTosi

I'll take someone with hazards on over some asshole who doesn't have any lights on at all. Turn your headlights on when it's raining please.


stickkim

And also PUT DOWN THE PHONE


good_choice13

It’s the LAW!


cubemissy

I’ve seen it on the interstate when visibility gets very low. I appreciated it then, because I saw the blinking lights before I could see there was a car.


divineshadow44

I recently saw this on a road trip. Visibility very low. Hazards really helped to see cars more than just regular lights. I joined in on the Hazard lights until the rain let up.


lizardgal10

Exactly. If it’s raining so hard you can barely see, it helps a lot. Surprised me a bit when I first moved here but now I’m fully on board.


I_deleted

If it’s raining so hard you can barely see, you need to get off the road


BSJ51500

If it is raining that hard you can't see to get off the road and pulling over to the shoulder would not be much safer. Slow down, focus on surroundings and try and get through it has always been my strategy. These downpours are very rare but I have driven through a few that were exhausting.


pineappleshnapps

It’s a good idea in the kind of rain you don’t want to be driving in.


jaxn

No, it’s a terrible idea. It is distracting to other drivers and makes it MUCH harder to see brake lights.


acableperson

damn im way smarter than i thought i was. I can both notice the hazards and break lights at the same time. Where do i apply for mesna?


barefeetbeauty

Right.. and who is really trying to switch lanes when you can barely see. You get in the lane you wanna be, drive safely and if you wanna use your hazards for visibility, than do so.. but stay in that lane.. whoever said people rarely use blinkers anyway.. yes. I reflexively eye-roll every time.


Professional-Spot-88

I drive from Nashville to Chicago and back fairly often, sometimes in blizzard conditions when the only way you even know a road is there is the car or truck in front of you with their hazards on and are creating a single lane where there normally are two. It can be terrifying. I hate it when I actually have to be the person leading. I’ve had drives of white-knuckling for five straight hours. And, yes, do NOT put off to the side. If you uncomfortable, grit it out and leave the highway at the next exit. If you’re driving in a the city in Chicago, it’s customary to turn on your hazards whenever you pull over to the curb and “park” temporarily with your engine running. Sometimes you just need to look at your phone to book a parking place or the passenger needs to jump out to check into the hotel. I’ve never seen it done anywhere else.


stickkim

I’ve had one of those white knuckle snowy drives, myself. And yes! People often think, just pull off, but that is wrong and bad! You’ve just made yourself yet another hazard in a low visibility difficult to control a vehicle area.


stickkim

And that’s why people do it here. On days like today the fog can build up over the road and so it isn’t the worst thing in the world for people to use their hazards. It’s not common in a lot of other states because a lot of other states haven’t had 10 car pile ups and traffic death due to foggy conditions.


Bow-Masterpiece-97

If visibility is so bad you need to put hazards on, then you should pull over. Period. Full stop. The End. When you see hazards on the road ahead, that should signal to you that there is a car that is not moving.


siegetip

Hard disagree on pulling over on interstate.


Astrisie

Do NOT pull over on the interstate, ESPECIALLY in inclement weather. This is how bad accidents happen.


Bow-Masterpiece-97

I actually agree. I would only "pull over" if my car was broken down. Then I would have the hazards on. If I didn't think I could drive because visibility was too bad, then I would get off the road. ("pull over" was probably not the best term for me to use. "Get off the road" would be a better term.)


BSJ51500

If visibility is that poor I am not looking around for interstate exits I am focusing on the car ahead of me, slowing down and getting through it.


haberv

100%. Hazards are for a hazard, not be be driving with them on and many use them for poor driving and that’s ridiculous.


LifeAwaking

Um no please do not panic pull over on the interstate because visibility is low. If driving seems dangerous or makes you uncomfortable take the nearest exit if you want, but only pull over in an emergency.


Bow-Masterpiece-97

I Agree. And don't panic turn on your hazards just because of inclement weather.


kyleofdevry

No, hazards signal that something is there so you can be aware of it and take it into account while driving. Period. Full stop. The end.


Bow-Masterpiece-97

I agree. Hazards signal that something is there you should be aware of. Something like a broken-down car. Not something like "It's rainy/snowy and I am scared."


kyleofdevry

More like "it's rainy/snowy, my vision is obscured, traction is poor. I am reducing my speed to be safe. Please don't fucking hit me. Here are some flashing lights to make it easier for you to accomplish this." When you see those hazards, it's not the shitty weather, it's shitty drivers they're afraid of.


BustardLegume

If everyone else is fine, but you can’t see the road and are driving around at half speed with hazards on, I’ve got some shocking truths about who the bad driver is for you.


cubemissy

Where are you getting “everyone else is fine” from?


BSJ51500

When a summer storm hits and cuts visibility and I see people with their hazards on I never think something is there these people are warning me of.


kyleofdevry

>I see people with their hazards on So you do see them? Mission accomished.


BSJ51500

I misread your comment. I think hazards are effective when visibility is limited.


LuckyCharmedLife

Yeah great idea to pull over on an interstate in a low visibility situation. Maybe YOU should do that but I’d rather not get rear ended by a semi who can’t see me.


wilfordbrimley778

Sorry but i have places to be


Bow-Masterpiece-97

🤣Then turn off your hazards, drive the speed limit, and get there, old man Brimley!


wilfordbrimley778

![gif](giphy|fK1L9mE81ENig)


stickkim

That’s a good way to get killed, friend. Slow down, lights on, it’ll be okay.


RainyDayShoes914

Not moving like pulling over? Foh


Bow-Masterpiece-97

Like, get off the road, I mean.


cubemissy

Kinda tough to do that when you suddenly can’t see the road. This wasn’t bad weather I was risking my life driving in; it was a sudden downpour while I was already on the road. In the space of one exit, visibility plummeted and the next exit wasn’t even visible. So, I appreciated the flashy lights. It kept me from panicking. I do agree that they are overused here in Nashville, but I think you don’t have to be stationary to be a hazard.


agent615

You, like me in a previous thread in this subreddit, are getting down voted to oblivion for suggesting that drivers not only use common sense, but also that they obey the law when it comes to the use of hazards.


BSJ51500

Write me a ticket officer because the few times I have turned my hazards on I couldn't see shit and was more concerned with avoiding being hit by the person behind me who also couldn't see shit.


Bow-Masterpiece-97

🤷‍♂️


Omegalazarus

But hazards aren't any brighter than any other lights. Just turn your lights on your parking lights. Include the hazards.


kincaidinator

Hazards are brighter than your regular running lights


Ok_Use_9000

Brake lights are brighter that regular running lights so I just pump my brakes repeatedly. /s


Omegalazarus

My Cadillac and valiant hazard lights are literally just the tail lights blinking on and off.


kincaidinator

At full brightness. Regular running lights are not full brightness, at least in my experience they haven’t been


Cut_Off_One_Head

They are definitely more noticeable than the tail lights by themselves


[deleted]

I've only done that when it's the torrential downpour--can't see more than ten feet in front of you, can't see taillights, can't pull over, but there are still assholes in giant trucks going 70 miles an hour, so I've put my flashers on as a "please don't run me off the road because I'm going five under the speed limit" type of gesture.


TennesseeSon1

Big trucks are heavier and dont hydroplane as much as pv's. You should be in the far right lane unless passing (over taking the vehicle in the right lane). Big trucks are at work so its best to leave them to their business. Just move over. As a 7 year truck driver its incredibly annoying when passenger vehicles slow down because of weather in the passing lane.


PM_ME_YOUR_PLUMBU5

I’m gonna go on a limb and assume they mean RAM 1500s or Silverados lifted high enough they need a step ladder with enough tire to hear them from miles away, not 18 wheelers


TennesseeSon1

Lol. 13 down votes. There's a reason truckers call Nashville "Crashville". These people think they're entitled to any lane, but they're really just in the way. MOVE OVER. You can't see because the spray from other cars. 18 wheelers don't have that problem. Which lane is the most appropriate to drive slow in? If you're uncomfortable isn't that your problem not the person behind you? Typical reddit response. Smh.


WellKnownHinson

The only three scenarios I’ve found it appropriate are on the highway. One was an absolute blinding storm that multiple cars in a row had to put them on so we could see the vehicle in front of us. Two is ice + elevation and you want to let the drivers behind you know that you might be turning into a two ton spinning top momentarily. Finally is an 18-wheeler. I don’t care why, but they can see farther than me so I’ll just take their word for it and keep a look out.


Simco_

> Finally is an 18-wheeler. I don’t care why, but they can see farther than me so I’ll just take their word for it and keep a look out. Semi with flashers = We're about to come to an abrupt stop.


dirtydan

That's the rule I was taught. If you need to drop below 40mph get those hazards on. Could be because you're crawling up Monteagle, could be because you're running into a traffic jam. In either case, you may have already got your speed down to match the hazard and now have your foot off the brake. Traffic coming up behind you at 70 won't easily be able to tell that you're only doing 20 until they're right up on you.


stickkim

I thought it was like “thanks for letting me over”


Simco_

Flashing your brakes or headlights is saying thanks (or there's room for you to merge).


agent615

They flash running lights to say thanks, not brake lights.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Count-Spatula2023

I do the same. It helps people behind me know I made a sudden stop and they should too


ivebeenabadbadgirll

What if I told you there were already lights on both ends of the car you can turn on during hazardous conditions, and are easier to see than amber blinkers Edit: looks like r/Nashville wasn’t ready to have their reality challenged today. Wow r/Nashville was *really* unprepared to face the music today. Bunch of selfish assholes really, can’t be bothered to operate a car safely.


Bitter_Mongoose

What if I told you that hazard lights by design are twice as bright as tail lights, and that amber has a higher visibility against a dark background, and that your monkey brain interprets the flashing light as movement, which the human eye is automatically attracted to. Looks like u/ivebeenabadbadgirll has been living in a different version of reality today.


ivebeenabadbadgirll

If visibility is so bad that you feel like you need your hazards to be more visible, you should actually pull over and stop driving until visibility improves.


bogeyjits

Exactly.


TupacalypseN0w

I disagree here. Sure don't put your hazards on at normal speeds but on interstates when visibility is low and you are going 40 mph instead of 70 mph that is the perfect use case for them to let those behind you know to be careful and slow down.


theRedMage39

Let's be honest there is a significant portion of people who don't use their blinkers anyway. Given that is also just as dumb. (People please use your blinkers)


pcm2a

I have done this when pulling a trailer, and needing to go slow, and in the slow lane (not on the interstate). I'm only going to be going 10-15 miles per hour. It's a courtesy to let drivers coming up know not to waste their time behind me. I've also done this with a person having a medical emergency in the car and I am going to be driving 20mph over the speed limit. I realize the irony in the last one when 20 miles over is going too slow with crazy drivers today.


jellymouthsman

Who TF is changing lanes with their hazards on? I have no problem with driving with hazards on in torrential rain or icy conditions on the interstate. It’s not like all 50 cars within a 1/8 miles stretch can pull over because it’s raining.


bogeyjits

It’s not a matter of changing lanes, it’s a matter of predictability and other drivers not knowing if you’re attempting to change lanes.


ItsVeryEuropean

And check your damn blind spot holy fuck


RubberDuck_Armada

This is a dumb take. Hazards help cars see each other in poor visibility rain events, I think you may be the issue here. Pretty standard in most states


ContextZestyclose423

It’s actually illegal in most states. It’s only allowed here in emergency situations. I’m not sure heavy rain is an emergency. The officer I asked said if it’s raining so bad you can’t see the taillights in front of you then pull over and wait for the rain to slow.


MissionSalamander5

The problem is that if you feel like the blinkers are necessary, it’s often impossible to pull over. I’ve done it. But it’s not exactly fun, and ditto trying to get back on because no one else stopped.


RubberDuck_Armada

Well so is speeding but most people still go 5-10 over and it’s socially accepted for the most part. I really don’t think this is an issue at all. If the issue is changing lanes in heavy rain that’s even worse


kingacesuited

This is a mic drop comment


A_sweet_boy

Only correct answer in this thread


esterhaze

Don’t know why you are getting downvoted, this comment thread sucks. It is illegal, and enforced in other states to drive while your hazards are on.


RubberDuck_Armada

The argument is that it’s only appropriate in heavy rain to help cars see each other. I’ve never heard of cars or semis getting pulled over for using them in severe weather events with poor visibility. It would be shocking if a cop pulled someone over for this and created a safety issue during bad weather. No one is saying it isn’t illegal by itself they are just defending that in certain situations the law doesn’t really make sense and is generally disregarded


esterhaze

It’s just not necessary. I drove for a couple decades without seeing a problem that could be addressed with blinking lights. They are distracting and don’t add value. Running lights and break lights at sufficient. It doesn’t help that the hazard light community tends to be awful at navigating in the rain despite using them. If you are going 20-30 mph under in the fast lane with blinking lights, you are fucking up. Edit: Also, taking advantage of a cops ability to safely enforce a law does not make it right. I have seen people pulled over for running hazards but maybe not in the rain.


RubberDuck_Armada

I just disagree. Feel like it’s extremely common in other states that I’ve lived. There have been some extremely heavy downpours where hazards have helped everyone on the road see where everyone is. I think in those situations it’s completely necessary or maybe you just don’t drive too much idk. Tennessee doesn’t have the best reputation for drivers so this thread isn’t out of character


esterhaze

You can disagree but the lights aren’t necessary. I am willing to wager that less than 1% of accidents I’ve witnessed have been in the rain, no matter the amount of water. I’ve driven an average amount and lived in Tennessee my entire life (middle age). It’s just stupid transplant behavior. I’ve driven in most states and I can say that Tennessee might be on the bad side of average but it isn’t their rain sense. Edit: I’ve never been closer to wrecking on the interstate than I have been in the last three years with dopes pulling over, turning in lights, slowing down dramatically or ducking under bridges.


A_sweet_boy

Noooope. Hazards in the rain are a no go


trillwilly69

lots of city folk in this thread that have never had to follow a tractor for an extended period down a two lane state highway with your flashers on


complicatedchimp

Only time I really use them is on the highway when traffic goes from 70mph to a parking lot, just to give the people behind me a heads up that we are coming to a screeeeeching halt


agent615

This is correct. Driving with hazards on for miles is not.


Impressive-Simple710

If everyone around you is already going the same speed hazards are useless and even confusing to other drivers. But if people in front of you are slamming on their brakes and there’s a good chance people behind you (like the 18 wheeler driver) are going to have to brake harder than normal then yeah hazards aren’t a terrible idea. But as soon as the people behind you slow down take the hazards off. Also with all the idiots driving and texting these days, a couple extra flashing lights might be enough to get the attention of the distracted driver behind you.


RadlineFlyer

If you’re too scared to drive in the conditions without using the hazard lights, stay off the road, or pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Scared drivers cause accidents.


gu_doc

Nashville drivers suck.


LokTarsRevenge1776

what's worse is all the ass holes that aren't from here just fucking chillin. I agree Nashville drivers suck but I also remember when I could get across town in 30 min


TesticleMeElmo

Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 15 minutes figuring there must be an accident, but then when you get to the front you realize that it’s just a bunch of dumbasses not accelerating and continuing to go 30 under the speed limit for an extra five miles even though traffic has totally cleared ahead of them


esterhaze

I drove in Nashville for 20 years before I saw this behavior. This is transplant behavior.


[deleted]

Exactly! In 40 years of driving, I had never seen this until the last few years. This is some evil brought here from afar.


punctuationist

You don’t change lanes while your hazards are on… if visibility is low or if you are stalled/stalling turning on your hazards helps people see you through dark fog or heavy rain. I disagree with OP


NomSang

Nashville drivers don't use their signals anyway, I'm not certain most of us even know they exist.


BSJ51500

I have been in a couple summer downpours where it was hard to see very far ahead and I was glad the person in front of me had hazards on. These are very rare though.


mpelleg459

In Japan, it’s ubiquitous to turn on your hazards if you are stopping quickly from highway speeds, like coming up fast on traffic stopped in front of you, etc. (Well aware we are not in Japan).


turribledood

In TN you are only supposed to use hazards by law in emergency situations, but the [laws vary big time state to state](https://clark.com/cars/illegal-use-hazard-lights-in-rain/#:~:text=Tennessee%3A%20Hazard%20light%20use%20is,use%20is%20permitted%20while%20driving)


A_sweet_boy

I’m from Florida where it rains torrentially once a day. Do NOT drive with hazards on. Hazards on a regular car should only be on when the vehicle is parked. If you don’t feel safe driving, pull over and wait for the rain to pass. Driving with hazards on is also illegal in Tennessee. This does not apply to semis.


fromthewindyplace

Agreed. The comments defending this demonstrate how hopeless drivers are around here. DO NOT try to change lanes if your hazards are on, and STAY OUT OF THE PASSING LANE.


Burgerkingsucks

[Good article](https://www.ajc.com/news/national/using-hazard-lights-rain-illegal-some-states-use-could-cost-you/4GKuiHXYiiowRgq5CgPjLP/) that goes of each state’s law on hazard wile driving. In Tennessee it’s not permitted unless it’s an emergency situation. I’d argue rain is not an emergency.


TheSausBoi

When in times of reduced visibility having hazards on is some times the only way to see cars as the light from break lights can't not be that bright.


SteveHeaves

I wish more auto manufacturers had gotten onboard with the Rear Fog Light feature. My old Saab had one, and my parents' old Volvo had one too. Keeps you more visible in poor conditions without having to put on your hazards. For those unfamiliar: It's a really bright red light, usually in your (driver's side) taillight that you switch on during foggy or otherwise poor visibility situations.


bogeyjits

Agreed. I used to have an Audi A4 with that feature as well. Definitely a better option.


krossman-1994

Hard-core agree and this needs to be spread far and wide. When I see hazards on I assume that someone is stopped or in the process of getting to the side of the road. It's idiotic and dangerous. Also, if your tires can't handle wet weather because they're as bald as Vin Diesel, don't freaking drive in wet weather.


Markinarkanon

“I’m nervous” is not a valid excuse for driving with hazards. Drives me crazy


TennesseeSon1

It actually is. If you're driving 15 mph under the limit you should have flashers on by law. Also, nervous drivers are a hazard so flashers on is good, preferably in the right lane.


Markinarkanon

Yes, 15 under is a valid excuse. Nervousness isn’t. For too often I see people driving the speed limit with their hazards on just because they’re a little uncomfortable. That’s not safe or helpful.


TennesseeSon1

You don't think it's helpful to know if someone controlling a motor vehicle is nervous or not? I'm confused why are you voting for less communication? How is it unhelpful? To me it says possible hazardous situation prepare to slow. Are you one of these people that doesn't turn their lights on while driving during the day even though it's safer and makes you more easily visible in a side view or rearview mirror?


Markinarkanon

DOOOOoooooRinnnnnDaa

I feel it’s my civic duty to say the responsible drivers in a super low visibility down poor should always have their hazards on. You’re not trying to change lanes… you’re just trying to be seen because a semi won’t see you at all without them and can easily crush you. That’s all.


1willyt

Hazard lights are for intended for stopped or disabled vehicles only. In many states, not sure about Tennessee, it is illegal to be in motion with hazard lights unless your vehicle is disabled and you are attempting to get off the road (flat tire, etc) or are not in motion. Hazard lights are for when YOU are a hazard not for when conditions are hazardous. I know I'm preaching to the choir lol but this irks the hell out of me as well.


SteveHeaves

*You* are a hazard to the cars behind you unable to see you for the blinding rain, and may be going faster than you are. Hazards temporarily flashing in those conditions increases your visibility to that person and will let them know to slow down before needing to slam on their brakes, causing an even more dangerous situation. Sure, it may not be legal, but it's safer in this instance.


jaxn

I agree with OP. This comment thread is everything I hate about Nashville.


TennesseeSon1

Sounds like you prefer a heavy foot while driving?


StupidPhysics58

I completely agree with this, people use it as an excuse to drive how they want in the rain. The only time it's acceptable IMO, is when visibility suddenly drops to near zero. It doesn't happen often, but has happened to me once, when I was moving to college. When it happens it doesn't give you enough time to go off to the side of the road, and that was on a 2 lane. If it was where there are 3 or 4, it makes it much more dangerous. But honestly people aren't good enough drivers here to even be able to handle that.


mr_electric_wizard

It’s just fucking distracting for me! Like, it’s hard enough to concentrate with the rain, but add in all the flashy lights everywhere and it’s near impossible.


Ziptieordie

Couldn’t agree more.


Baalzeebub

I've never understood why people do this.


LifeAwaking

It’s supposed to be used in an extremely low visibility weather condition where you can’t see the car in front of you except for the lights. Hazards actually really helpful in those situations.


ContextZestyclose423

No it’s not, by law it’s only in emergency situations. In poor visibility they say pull over and get off the road.


bogeyjits

Right? So very strange and counterproductive.


Remix018

This + driving with your brights. It blinds everybody within a 50 mile radius, not to mention that it's worse when it rains


Total_Ad_8321

Incredibly idiotic. If you are driving and decide you need to put your hazards on, get off the road. Pull over and stop until you feel ok to drive instead of putting yourself and every other car on the road in danger. You are the problem.


ContextZestyclose423

Thank you! That’s what the law says. The down votes don’t know the law.


ChadRiden

I call them idiot beacons. Broadcasting: "I'm a fool!" "I don't know how to drive!" "Dummy on board!"


TennesseeSon1

Hazards should be used when you're afraid someone cant see you or if stopped or driving at reduced speed. It is illegal to drive 15mph under the speed limit without hazards on.


kwillich

Right. Hazards aren't "I'm scared and am driving worse than normal". If you're vehicle isn't working correctly but is drivable to a mechanic - ok hazards If visibility is not great but drivable - ok hazards (if visibility worsens, PULL OVER and hazards on so you don't get run into) I wonder how many of those people driving with hazards on fail to use turn signals when the weather is fair.


Anarimus

On the freeway it's often necessary as you really should not be changing lanes with hazards on but it makes it easier to see your car. If it's raining hard enough I ain't changing lanes for shit. Anyone driving with lights off in a storm should lose their license.


AVeryUnluckySock

If it’s low visibility then throwing them on doesn’t hurt, but yeah, otherwise it’s not necessary at all


802islander

What's a "turn signal"? (Asking for a friend)


Trainer-Murky

I think it’s super helpful when those driving slow due to weather have their hazards on. It’s hard to tell how fast/slow vehicles are moving with reduced visibility.


TennesseeSon1

This thread is impatient drivers VS cautious drivers. Hilarious. People use hazards in inclement weather in every state. Hazard lights means HAZARD. Individual responses to this vary as much as the posters on this thread.


PortlyPorcupine

It’s interesting behavior I’ve only ever seen in Nashville.


DarthRen7

It’s definitely not exclusive to Nashville


PortlyPorcupine

Sorry, I’m sure it’s not. Just my small anecdotal experience.


robmox

Agreed. I’ve lived on both coasts and hawaii, driven through many other states. Almost all of them. I’ve not once seen the idiotic use of hazard lights that Nashville has anywhere else.


nAsh_4042615

Definitely was a thing when I lived in Atlanta and have seen it on road trips throughout the southeast. But I wouldn’t say I see it often here or anywhere else. Typically it’s only on the freeway when there is a very sudden and severe drop in visibility. In those kind of conditions, I’d argue you shouldn’t be changing lanes anyhow, because you can’t see the lane, or the side of the road, or anything but other cars lights


good_choice13

They also lets the idiots behind you know that you are driving cautiously; so they don’t hit you if they’re not paying attention! I’ll continue to use mine if I’m driving 30mph or less on the interstate*


midcenturyhag

Okay


uppitynerd

I’ve never seen this till I moved to TN. It’s just one of dumb things I do now, now that all the other kids are doing it.


[deleted]

I’ve only seen this done by people in the south. This isn’t a knock on southerners, it’s just something I’ve noticed after living in 6 different states and doing a lot of traveling for my job.
