Clump
Last night was typical. I'm coming back from Fredericksburg on Rt 3. Believe
it or not, I'm driving the right lane. Think that helps anything? Nooooo.... First guy to catch me slows down on my left rear for about 1/2 mile, then drops in behind me following a bit closer than I'd like. I ignore him. The next guy comes up, also slows down on my left rear, then drops back and goes LLB beside the guy behind me, forming the early stages of a clump. Then another car catches these 2 Einsteins, and the LLB beside the car behind me drifts back to LLB beside this guy. I think there was another car behind the 3rd row at some point - not sure. Finally, the last act of the clump is for the original guy who dropped in behind me to finally fall back to a reasonable following distance, which occured 9 miles after he first caught me. The others stayed with him, so at least they're comfortably behind when I had to slow for a left turn (there's a turnout) to exit rt 3. What's the point? I dunno - prolly none, other than it shows that people 'round here really, really like to hold each other up, drive in close proximity to each other, and be generally annoying. DPH |

And every last one these drivers in the left lane causing the clump thinks, 'if someone wants to pass, they can pass me on the right'. |

And every last one of those drivers in the right lane causing the clump thinks, 'if someone wants to pass, the can pass me on the left', which was equally untrue. So, other than being blatently wrong (again - people were driving _next to_ each other, so there wasn't going to be anyone passing anyone), what's _your_ point? |
