You can pay attention all you want but if there is a deranged driver climbing up on your tail, moving over quickly isn't always possible.

If you think that all those people whose cars got hit are to blame for not getting out of the deranged driver's way, then you are really naive. Even if they all were able to get into a breakdown lane (assuming there is one), they still wouldn't have been safe from such a driver.

Couldn't rep. you again but Exactly!! He/She that posted such are living in some other world

Oh you got me figured out. I only drove a delivery truck in San Francisco for 15 years. But San Francisco has no traffic congestion, so I don't know anything about that. The streets in San Francisco are wide open all the time and they never have traffic jams like like you have in Virginia.

And, your point is, what exactly? That you would somehow avoid getting hit when a deranged person is driving erratically? That you somehow can predict his/her next moves and manage to get away on a crowded roadway? SMH

I don't think anyone in the "Cloudy Dayz vs everyone-else-on-this-thread" debate is going to budge.

Anyone want to talk about the stuff in posts 8, 13, and 18? Anyone? Bueller?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe all of us on the NoVa forum can gatecrash C-D's Oregon forum and offer our informed opinions on such current topics there as "Oregon ends its 72-year ban on pumping your own gasoline"

Jeez, Oregon, were you proud to be lumped in with... New Jersey...as the only state in the Union whose inhabitants couldn't figure out how to operate a gas pump? Sheesh!

If you look at the video, that doesn’t look like an ambulance either. The driver must have stole an ambulance after ramming into all those cars on 395 N around GW parkway.

I was in Florida, I missed the fun. Anyone know what happened to the disappearing car, that was definitely where he shouldn’t have been? After he was hit, he vanished!
