OT Can anyone help me understand the psychology of, stupid idiot drivers? Options

Driving home the other day on a road trip, in my 914, I notice up ahead...on the other side of Interstate 94 (around Eau Claire, WI) an accident with a large number of ambulances and cop cars...lights flashing...the whole bit. WHY DO PEOPLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ACCIDENT (SEPARATED BY A 100 FEET OF MEDIAN) HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH?!! Sure, I get curious too...but I don't slow down at all...I take a quick look and keep driving...MY SPEED UNEFFECTED! The idiots ahead of me were stacked up like they were on a checker board so I unleashed a quick burst of 500 HP V-8 anger as I slalomed through the barricade of morons. Of course, one of the dumshits hit his horn as I flew past him. It's an Alice in Wonderland world now isn't it? The left lane is now the slowest lane...people speed up when you try to pass...etc etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ok. So imagine that, but with 6 lanes in each direction. All of which are moving 25mph. None of which have enough space to make any change that will cause positive gain.

12 fuching lanes, all of them stopped by two or 3 cars.

And then, the whole freeway slows to 25mph. You expect to see an accident. Nope. The freeway turned. Thats it. People freak out because they have to turn their steering wheel.

I swear. OC has the worst drivers period. It's what you get when you place a bunch of rich wives in big cars and don't teach them how to drive.
