for business reasons..I ocassionally need to use the major highway systems in my area to get from one place to another in rapid fashion since that's what there're designed for. Invariably...one of two things always happens....
I get on the onramp behind some idiot who treats it like a school zone....we are going to attempt to merge with traffic that is averaging approximately 70-80 mph and we're going to accomplish this at the merge speed of 20-30 mph....when the end of the ramp is reached and the dumbass finally realizes whats going on....he takes appropiate action by slamming his brakes on thereby treating it like and everyday intersection.
The worst scenario involves Mr. Aware who insists on driving in the left lane for the sole purpose of matching the traffic speed of the right lane. How is it possible to ride side by side for endless miles and not realize you have about 25 mile of cars backed up behind you.
This must be how road rage got its start.
