Uggghhhhh drives me crazy!! You’re getting on a HIGHWAY… where people are going highway speeds… did you think it would be a good idea to slam on the brakes, come to a complete stop, and… wait for someone to let you over?? All the while the 20 cars behind you are now also having to come to an abrupt stop ON A HIGHWAY RAMP!! These are the same people who get onto said highway and immediately get all the way over into the left (passing) lane to cruise at 5 mph under the speed limit. I swear, VA drivers are the worst. I’ve driven all across the country, and it’s almost comical that as soon as you cross into VA on the highway, suddenly there are huge traffic jams out of nowhere due to idiots cruising in the passing lane, rubbernecking, and just plain tomfoolery. I don’t understand. Is it the driver’s Ed in VA? Why is it this bad? And don’t get me started on the zipper merge… how is it that hard of a concept to understand?? I’m not originally from here, so maybe someone can enlighten me. Do you guys have driver’s Ed classes? Do you have to pass a basic road/written test to get a license? Do they teach you guys basic things like roundabouts, zipper merges, and passing lane etiquette? I’m sorry, I know you’re not all horrible drivers, but DAMN there are a lot of idiots on the road around here.
