Idiot Drivers
A rich subject, indeed.
Today I was traveling north on VA28 at about 10:10. Right after I crossed the bridge over US50 (far too late to get off there, sadly), I hit bumper to bumper traffic. This was because VDOT had one lane closed about 3 miles north of there. We drove this route last night, and there were no signs about "Use Alternate Route", "Expect Delays" or anything helpful like that. They DO use these signs for some things, so I know they've got them.
Anyway.
I'm sitting in traffic in the left lane and what do you think happened? Some jackasses decided they were more important than everyone else and decided to use the left hand shoulder to, presumably, skirt the traffic jam. As it turns out, two of these jackasses managed to RUN INTO each other on the shoulder:
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of idiots, eh? What I want to know is this: who was stupid enough to let the other three of them that DIDN'T wreck back into a traffic lane? Once you go on the shoulder to go around all of us because you think you are too important to obey traffic laws, you can be sure that I'M not going to let your sorry ass back in. Who helps jerks like this anyway?
