Reply to comment by D0NNIENARCO in Maryland’s transportation department asks for public feedback on I-695/I-70 Interchange project by BmoreCityDOT

Hey, I save 20 minutes every afternoon blowing down that lane from 695 IL to 83 SB. I’ve never slammed on my brakes though. There’s no need. Always some dipshidiot playing on their phone not paying attention leaving a 18 wheeler sized hole for me to slip into.

Yea how dare they not stick right up the ass of the car in front, those are the people really slowing traffic down.

Or maybe people leave those gaps because it's inevitable some schmuck comes and tries to merge at the last second. If they have to stop in the adjacent lane it just makes it worse for everyone else.

And covering that 20 feet only takes a second once there's actually somewhere to go....

An 18-wheeler sized hole that the presence of your car squeezing in makes a much smaller space, causing the car that was giving distance - for a reason - to slam on their brakes. Foolproof! Totally not an accident waiting to happen, but you know who cares if your car’s not involved.

Yea they’re already stopped so they aren’t slamming any brakes. Unless they suck at driving, which would make sense why they think they need so much room…
