"Why 70 Is The New 55"
I think I might finally have time for my big state-by-state post after next week, so hold on tight. In the meantime, we can confirm that DC traffic is terrible.

D-bags of the road: Part 7 - More Ds
Drifters:
"Hey partner, there ain’t enough room for the two us in this lane." These drivers take their sweet time changing lanes, and so they “drift” into the lane. And then drift out of the lane. Which makes it increasingly difficult for both lanes of traffic involved to understand why time is relatively so much slower for these drivers.
Drunkards:
These drivers are not necessarily drunk. They may be distracted by some other means such as answering their phone, eating food, dropping their cigarette, falling asleep, or a small child throwing objects at them, but hopefully not an actual combination of these. Unlike drifters, these drivers just sort of sit in between two lanes never actually changing lanes, even when the greater majority of their car is now sitting in the latter lane. Instead, when they look up (or become momentarily lucid from their stupor), they lane toss back into their former lane. Be careful of these drivers, especially if you find yourself to the right or left of them. Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200.
