a single driver was to blame. Every day on his drive to work, this commuter would plant himself in the left lane and set his cruise control to 55 mph, the posted speed limit, forcing those behind him to merge right, and you can imagine the effects.

He shoulda been shot for that alone.

I have driven that Beltway many times, and I cannot believe he stayed alive doing 55 on it.

Of course there was little traffic in front of him, they were all piled up behind.

Nothing is worse on the beltway than a cop sitting still with his lights flashing.
