Ever since I started driving 40 miles to work on the tollway system, I have been astonished on how well (generally) the drivers have been. No real idiots, everyone doing about 80 mph (when we can) and everyone is behaving.
Until this morning.
We had accidents (a 3-car one that had to be someone not paying attention). I had a pickup truck in front of me who's right taillight didn't have it's red lens, so everytime he tapped his brakes, I've got a bright light in my eyes. Then - at the same time - I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee behind me that has his right headlight pointed upwards - right into my rear-view mirror. The truck infront of me taps his brakes one more time while we're in the left lane going about 70... and then cuts sharply across 3 lanes of traffic to get off at an exit. Moron. Lots of people going under the limit and not yielding to merging traffic, too. Weird.
Then I get on Buckley, on my way to the base when a stretch limo screams out of a hotel parking lot to make an attempt to get across 3 lanes of traffic so he can make a left. I think he forgot how long the damn limo is, as he didn't exactly clear my lane (the left lane). Bastard.
I think the holdiday humbugs are finally out.
