Yes the parkway entrances are dangerous, you have to slow down for those. But the LIE is like an autobahn in spots, some entrances extend quite far. It's very easy to enter the highway at 65mph+, which is illegal as the speed limit is 55mph, but no one goes that slow.

I've seen my dad check emails while driving, yet he tells me I'm going to kill myself by going 75 mph.
My mother's the same way lol.

If you answered B, you'll feel right at home in Lexington.
Even I who don't drive (in fact, never!) would choose A.

My mother's the same way lol.

My uncle turns into a complete maniac upon entering the LIE. On one or two occasions I've seen him do 100+ on it. With kids in the car. I remember the first time he did it bc he was worried about missing the train at Ronkonkoma, I was about to **** my pants. His "normal" speed on it is "only" 70-80 though. I personally drive 60-70 on it.

Seems like a dangerous road from what I've heard. I think I would have a heart attack driving there.

Personality tests are quite dangerous, IMO. People tend to fall in love with those paragraphs that describe them, and eventually end up altering their behavior so that they match their type more closely.

I guess it's true, even though I feel like when you take the test and read the description it's like someone is picking your mind apart
