Monday, any traffic troubles today or over the weekend?

Scorpion · 12-08-2008, 02:33 PM

Didn't have any problems today. This cold weather makes everything dull and depressing so not many ppl get out on the road lol.

Blake · 12-08-2008, 02:33 PM

yea, some dumbass decided to wreck out on 75 in dallas over the weekend. i was stuck in standstill traffic for 45 minutes because the highway was shut down in front of me.

darkphantom · 12-08-2008, 03:13 PM

^ouch.

I just remembered there was something ridiculous on friday night....had the whole hwy 59 packed! this is a 5 lane highway....standing still...

Blake · 12-08-2008, 03:18 PM

i've got one even worse than that...when i was living in houston, i got stuck on I-10 in a similar fashion for 2 hours once. everyone was out of their cars bullshitting because we couldn't move at all. traffic was back up for miles and i was only about 1/4 mile from the accident. we couldn't back up because there were thousands of cars blocking us in. at least it was in the fall and it wasn't 900 degrees.

This blog is pretty hilarious. It's all about bad drivers in Los Angeles. Users submit stories with pictures and rate the drivers according to two scales, idiocy and a$$hole. Check it out!

3 words...female...SUV...drivers....:finger:

darkphantom · 12-09-2008, 10:44 AM

I guess it's time for me to be the asshole....I wasn't paying attention because of all this traffic I was stuck in, so I was all the way in the left lane, then I see the popos and the accident scene coming up and i'm like "SHIT! I'm supposed to exit here!"

I mean, it was that bad because everyone was going 5-10mph, not like I was the retard cutting across 4 lanes when traffic is going 60-70mph....but still...thought I'd share that with everyone -_-

darkphantom · 12-16-2008, 08:51 PM
