I just finished taking AARP’s Smart Driver course. It was a pretty good refresher (there ARE some new things to learn) and a discount on my auto insurance. In the process, I came across an interesting fact.
That white line going down the middle of the roadways? Here’s it’s origin (taken from the AARP course): “Invented by Edward Hines, a Michigan resident and member of the Wayne County Road Commission from 1906 – 1938. The idea came to Mr. Hines after watching a leaky milk wagon leave a white trail down the road.”
Well, I found it interesting….
