The Worst Freeway Ever - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #18803 6 posts Started by mr_dude
Anybody make the long Thanksgiving commute? Mine was back to San Diego from around San Fran.

Wow.

Granted, people in SoCal have a fetish for using their brakes going 90 with nobody in front of them. Granted, people in SoCal love to find someone to drive next to at the same speed on a two-lane freeway. Granted, people in SoCal love to pass you on the right, slide into the small space in front of you, and brake.

But what pisses me off the most, is that I sat on I-5, 250 miles from my destination, in the middle of BFE on a freeway that is normally 80-90 mph. And I sat for a very long time because everyone was trying to get off at a tiny BFE rest stop. Not an accident, not an orchard fire, but just because people can't get off the freeway.

I know what you mean man

In Toronto we have the 401, widely acknowladged to be one of the 3 most dangerous highways in North America

Werd. SoCal sucked this weekend. i had to drive to LA saturday.. its like a 2 hour drive without traffic but it took 3 1/2 hours there and back.
That sucks...when I go to Seattle(and when I used to go to Bellingham), I-5 was never that bad...lots of bumper to bumper traffic in Seattle though.

New Toyota project coming soon...

awww traffic BLOWS....Lucky for me I was passed out on the couch after eating till I couldnt move haha...theres a good picture

You said BFE hehe.....I havent said that forever, made me laugh

Thanksgiving food coma... good memories.

It just boggles my mind that people can consciously drive like complete morons all the time. I admit I can get aggro once in a while, but not to extent that it would lengthen thousands of peoples' trips home by hours.
