In my case had I obeyed the speed limit I would have been rear-ended by an SUV while trying to get to my exit. I suppose the chances are I would have survived, but I'd rather not get hit. Speeding up from 45 to 55 avoided a collision at the cost of disrupting traffic. 60 would have been a better speed. -- John Carr ) |

Over here we employ brain dead morons who step in front of traffic. Darwin in action. If you drive through a zone and some idiot steps in front of you, it doesn't matter how fast you are going. Guess who gets in trouble. They also believe it is funny to create barriers to traffic, which server to do nothing but **** off drivers. Then they stand around and watch traffic bunch up. Poor humans, those are the drivers who have to deal with the idiots working in the zones. |

I once encountered all lanes of the northbound dan ryan closed the distance between an off ramp and an on ramp with workers just standing around. Took forever to get through the backup... once on the other side it was smooth sailing cept for when the 3 other cars on the interstate lined up side by side. |
