The shortest measurement of time know to mankind is the time between when a red light turns green and a N Y city cabbie behind you toots his horn.

So happy to hear I'm not the only one encountering these drivers. Had a near-miss just today. It seems it's a daily thing.

People drive like they walk here. Spend some time in Walmart or Publix at Colony Plaza!

Do you think it is possible that bad drivers cannot read? With everything written in the paper and in forums such as this, there are still bad drivers out there!!! You would think they would read and understand, they are a problem!!! yeah right!!!

I lived in Silver Spring, MD for over over 30 years, and I agree completely with Buggyone. Traffic here this winter was a piece of cake compared to the DC suburbs in Maryland.

Don't expect much better with that, either!

These kinds of things happen to us as well and when it does hubby and I look at each other and say "let's get off the road" and we go home. I figure it's a sign I shouldn't be driving that day.

I feel the way people drive is a reflection of their experience over their many years of driving. If you are from a major city your tendency is to be more aggressive as opposed to a person from a small town or rural area who are more apt to be more cautious. Either extreme can have it's problems. Of course this a generalization but I can tell you that personally having lived all of my life in the Greater Toronto Area with over 6 million inhabitants, driving there is not for the faint of heart. Somewhere in the middle is probably the best for TV.
