Ah yes, you're in Stratford as well.

We'll probably get our turn as soon as we move.

This was absolutely best said.. It's incredible and it's exactly what it is...a racetrack!

It it is so irritating to look in the review mirror and see 1/4 mile back someone is making ground on you. Are you serious? So I pull to the right and hope that person respects the road and the people and doesnt tailgate !!!

Im always amazed how fast people catch up behind you no matter what speed you do. And if you're ever on my bumper on the road, smile, because I might be taking your picture. Like this one who almost hit me today!!! !!

Thats not the sterring wheel shes holding!

I always love the people that tailgate me in the right & middle lanes. Sure, I guess I could move over to the right, but the middle lane is the "designated" travel lane, and the left lane is for people that want to pass someone in the middle lane. The right lane is just downright humerous. Where do you expect me to go?? Pull over the shoulder so that you can pass??

Look in the mirror of my picture. LOL. You got one on the phone next to me and one on my tail.

I have two questions..

What's with people wearing headphones while driving now? I was in some slow traffic yesterday and I see this women in Stamford on I-95 SB with grey headphones on... They were the studio kind.

Also Exit 3 SB are they ever going to address the issue with the traffic backing up on the highway? I never understood why they could not have a dual sensor traffic sensor so say traffic is backing up, the first car covers the sensor near the light and the 2nd sensor would be active once it has a steady 3+ second time of a car hovering over it, It really is a pain if you are in the back you have to wait at least 2 to maybe 3 light cycles just to get off the exit ramp.

I've seen a few people (guilty myself) of in the lane that makes a left people will get in that lane to make a right because the two right lanes are always at a stand still when the light is green.

I love that CT DOT decided to shut down a lane on the Merritt southbound at ~9:30 today for what looked like some minor maintenance. What are they thinking?

I've been noticing the "headphones while driving" trend for several years now, and always think to myself about how dangerous that is. You can't hear sirens until the official (police, fire, ambulance) is really close to you. Nor can you hear other drivers that might be in your blindspot (truck or motorcycle).

One's sense of hearing is a very underrated aspect of driving.
