Beltway Traffic

Dear American Drivers,

If you like to drive just that little bit slower so you can see what happened in an accident, then I hope you are soon in one. Why do you feel compelled to drive extra slow trying to see past the police cars, firetrucks, ambulances and random other emergency vehicles, hoping to get a glipse of the meyhem. I hope you are hurt. Badly. And soon.

Tonight, coming home from Towson around the west side of the beltway there was an accident at Exit 18. It took me 40 minutes to go 2 miles. 2 MILES! This is ridiculous. I saw a sign that said "2 Right Lanes Closed ahead, Accident". So i stayed in the far left lane (like usual). 40 minutes, 2 miles later, No lanes are closed, they have managed to move the accident to the shoulder. Way to go, doing your job. So the reason for the slowdown? Retarded people.

And then there are the people that felt compelled to be the in the lane that I was in. There was nothing wrong with their lane. They were just to stupid, ignorant and retarded to know that. So what do they do? They finagle there way into my lane, just so that I can go that much slower. They say football is a game of inches, well I'd like to say that driving through an accident is a game of inches. I don't want anyone in front of me. If you're trying to get over, and there's some jerk in a mustang or corolla refusing to let you in, its probably me. My question to you - whats so wrong with the space BEHIND ME?

If you are one of the people. I hate you. It is retarded people like this that make driving in America a horrible thing to do. I understand accidents, its wet, raining, dark. I understand. But to drive by at 10mph just so you can look. Just drive off a cliff.

Signed,

Drew
