Today, Tuesday after Christmas, the roads are at, oh probably 30% volume. The right lane on I-405 is still the fastest, actually moving at about 60. Someone thinks 55 is the best speed to go in the left lane, 50 uphill and no one will move around him! LEMMINGS!

You seem new here, so I will go easy on you. I don't care if you take offence, and that is all I do is talk ****. That idiot, was the only person that has hit me around here, he happened to be Asian, and he hit me because he was going to try to drive on the wrong side of the road. I don't know if he was Japanese or Chinese, and I don't care. Get over it.
And maybe you should learn how to drive instead of letting people hit you
They see me derpin'

Should be mandatory viewing material for every Seattle driver.
I've been utilizing his method of keeping space and never having to stop fully, it really does end the whole 'wave' thing where people stop, accelerate a few feet, then stop again (usually). Thus because the cars behind me aren't having to convert their kinetic energy to thermal energy quite as often, they're actually more efficient and I'm helping to save gas, or so I tell myself haha.

Growing up in Seattle the drivers have always been extremely cautious especially on speeding. But who can blame them when the WSP uses planes to catch speeders. Down here in San Diego the drivers react to rain the same way that Seattle drivers react to snow. Total and complete Panic.
It’s pretty funny and frustrating at the same time.

When it snows, the lemmings have lost their leaders and all heck breaks loose. I wasn't on this road on that day, but I was out and it was NOT icy. Just snowy.

I am on the road a lot throughout the day with my current job, and I don't have too much of an issue. I think I am used to how stupid people are. The only thing that gets to me is people that are too lazy to use their blinker. 
Only one I had was some guy fresh from China or something pulling out of an Asian store about to turn left. For some reason he thought he was still in ching chong land and only looked right and tried to turn into my left oncoming traffic lane. Tapped my rear quarter as I went by. Maddest I have ever got, but when I saw how useless he was trying to change my rear passenger tire he popped all I could do is laugh at him. I had to stop him after he put the jack under my muffler and started jacking it up. I sow sawwy, oh ok, sow sawwy yes.
