One thing I found out is that American drivers cant handle traffic circles.

Over here, Brit drivers can't merge

One things a constant, there are idiots everywhere

Morons are everywhere. I once saw an 18 wheeler turn right in front of the car in front of me. The guy in the car locked up his brakes and skidded under the trailer. The rear wheels of the trailer ran over the car crushing it. Fortunately the driver was not seriously injured. He did lose his spleen though. Come to find out the trucker was lost and someone on the CB told him to turn left to get to Houston. He then tried to blame the wreck on the guy in the car.

They just expanded 95 to the 15 to 10 lanes plus a HOV lane (which people of course ignore). they also added those on ramp meter (again, people ignored).

I'm not surprised it was a woman driver...
