Someone needs to pull over and take a screaming break~~~   :s

I keep to my own lane, let people merge, and take time off during rush hour to eat and nap.

In Washington, it was only rush hour!

This was a pretty accurate description of my daily commute.

The first two weeks of December are pretty much the slowest travel period for the entire year. It's between Thanksgiving go see grandma and Christmas go see grandma in law and new years drunk fest. People are hunkered down watching football on the weekend or dealing with the kids sports or drama/chorus events. Cruice ships are on giveaway rates and these two weeks are the best time to go to Orlando.

Back in 1997 I took a two-week car (1981 Chrysler leBaron slant six auto with AC) vacation to Florida. Went to the mouse, Ft Myers Beach, and a seven-day cruise from Miami on the week before Christmas. We were driving north on I-95 in SC a few days before Christmas and encountered very little traffic but southbound it was a parking lot (the traffic was moving so slow you could see the spokes of the wheels) full of SUV's with x-mass trees tied to the roof and full to the top inside with their crap.

BTW I will be leaving for Florida on 12/11 and will bypass the entire Metro DC area in the process.

When I go I want to go like my Grandpa, in my sleep. Not screaming and crying like the rest of the people in his car.

I'd like to formally thank you for being one of the few people on this forum to consistently have a sense of humor.

Been there, done that, seen all ten idiots, many on the same day.  As to Numba Seven, I will NOT speed up for any AH, as I am already doing the legal limit.  Get on my six too close, I WILL "brake check" you.
In my illspent youth, I often was that young fool driving his hopped up musclecar like an idiot.  I grew out of it.  I drive in a sedate manner, obeying the limit in my "Man's Minivan".    And I use my lights as the Driver's Manual says to.  Don't like it, get over it.

#6 and #9 are my pet peeves, and are safety issues for the rest of us. Left lane is for overtaking. If you are blocking it and keeping people from overtaking you or someone else on the left and forcing them to do it on the right, you are causing an unsafe situation. Drives me nuts.

Many thanksTMG51.Kinda hard having to work outside of politics,but I do my best.

# 10, in Dallas. Only it was a porn flick, and the driver was watching it with the screen attached to the passenger side sunshade.

When you leave big cities and divided highways behind, it is amazing how most all of these behaviors disappear. Most people pass respectfully on two lane roads, leaving me plenty of room. I wave them forward when its safe.

Bad drivers are only one reason why I am never going back to New Jersey/NYC metro.

Similarly I avoid the areas around Hotlanta, Chitown and NorVa for the same reason.

City drivers and traffic gives me anxiety attacks !
BUT , I've found some really great places taking long detours to avoid them .........

...yeah.. had fun yesterday. On the way to work, going over one of those rail-yard overpasses. Little red (crappy) sportscar zips up behind me - on the black ice.. no less - I am in the left lane, setting up to turn left. He whips around me on the right, cuts me off, zips into the turn lane - and makes the turn - BlowingThrough A RedLight!... I think to myself.. "Self, That Moron just broke at least 2 obvious traffic laws...if he turns into where I work, I am busting him with our boss."
Yep.. he is one of the UselessOnes and now he is also a confirmed idiot. Told the boss.. his eyes got big, and he laughed the laugh that the buddies do just after the guy says "here, hold my beer.."

I hate this town.. - more accurately, I hate All big towns...
