Every lunatic in town is out driving
And driving like idiots. Ran out for a bit and in the space of 30 miles:
1) an idiot in a Mustang decided he wanted to race. Pulls up next to me in moderate traffic with state patrol cars every few miles along the highway. Revs his engine, gets peeved when I just look at him, flips me off and speeds away. He managed to hit one of those Orange and white barrels ahead a bit and I drive by while he is pulled over inspecting his car.
2) a pickup is flying along and slams the brakes ahead of me almost hitting what's in front of him. There is a reason to keep a couple of car lengths between you and the car in front of you and I'm sure glad I had.
3) another truck manages to kick up a piece of some trash that hurtled straight for my windshield which I barely avoided with a swerve. Fortunately no one was next to me. Thing would have landed on my face.
At this point, I need a Valium or a cocktail or both and then I won't leave the house again until Tuesday. I'm still not over the last loon that rear ended me and thus killed my C6!

Ever notice anybody traveling faster than you is an idiot and anybody traveling slower than you is an a-hole?

That's everyday stuff here in the Washington DC Suburbs of Northern Virginia / Southern Maryland. If that caused us anxiety around here, we'd never be able to leave the house. I just make sure I carry a bigger gun than the next guy! J/K

I think these people did it in reverse
I am in DC/NOVA about every other week for work and you aren't kidding. Add a taxi into the mix and I feel like I'm on Mr. Toad's wild ride.

Yup, typical summer holiday weekend. Lots of lunatics in addition to drunks and cops. That's why I try to keep my car parked memorial, 4th of July, and labor day weekends.

I never have to worry about someone wanting to race me in my truck or Jeeps

I never travel on holidays.
I prefer to stay at home for my dose of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.

If not driving, then moving! Just out for a long drive today and barely dodged the residue of a glass-top patio table that flew off a pickup and smashed on the road. The movers, of course, did not stop

I went across the Bay Bridge at noon today, and was so Shocked! I was one of only three people at the toll booths. All the rest of the booths were literally empty. I have never ever seen that before, even in winter.
You all should have come to the Eastern Shore, and you, too, could have your Ez Pass read while still in the cubby, and not even had a bit of back up.
Unprecedented!
Had a cool run home to So. MD after meeting up with Mr.owc6 in his C6 with virtually no traffic. I guess all the knuckleheads were bothering TheSouthernGentleman.
