I'm tired of everyone acting as if my time being important to me is somehow wrong.
Call it rude, entitled, etc. I couldn't care less. We ALL have places to go and the roadways should be clear and fast moving so that we can get there quickly without wasting precious time.
I'm not going to leave an hour early for an appointment if the regular commute time is 15 minutes. I'll leave with a few minutes to spare in case I hit too many red lights. Other people can control their stupidity on the roadway so there are less wrecks and therefore less delays... and I expect them to do so.
All of that being said, I understand how wrecks happen in the city limits, but I've never understood how people wreck on the Interstate. Understand--I'm not talking about very crowded LA freeways etc, I'm talking of Interstates where there's a 70 mph speed limit and everyone is moving right along. It makes no sense to me how people wreck in those situations. There are no school zones, no stop lights, no points of interests (malls, shopping centers, schools, places of work, restaurants etc) which people are pulling into (they will exit off the freeway to do so), no people making turns--everyone is just moving. The roads are straight, typically not icy or such, and with all of those complicating factors not being a part of the situation, it would seem very easy driving that would not involve wrecks.
And yet, people wreck on them, ALL the time. It makes no sense to me.**************
Thoughts?

Assuming a driver knows what they are doing will get you into a wreck yourself.
My experience has been either some maniac jack wagon driver, or some one out for a Sunday drive during rush hour traffic.

He did, too. Thankfully, because he was driving my car.
