My drive to Newport News from Va Beach and the return trip are almost always rage inducing trips for me. The asshats doing the I64 work infuriate me anew every day. And the geriatrics that slow down to 35mph in HRBT make me wanna scream. :| :| :|

I drive from Hampton to Virginia Beach (Rosemont Exit) to get to work every day. One of these days I am absolutely going to have a stroke because of these assclowns. The HRBT is unbelievable - easily a 30+ minute wait when going home at night, every night. So I started working until 1800 (6:00PM) to avoid that. Nope, at least half of the time some tool has had an accident, or a stalled car, or a vehicle fire, or some other tomfoolery in the tunnel. Ten million miles of roads in Virginia and that craps' got to happen in the tunnel. When the HRBT is down then I gotta go the long way around, which is an hour drive. Every. Friggin. Night. Jeez, from 1100 on on a Friday there's a 30+ minute delay in getting through the tunnel. I've never seen so many selfish pieces of crap drivers mixed with utterly pathetic scaredy cat drivers. I hate them all.

Luckily, my realtor just called and it looks like my offer was accepted on a house in Chesepeake... Whew. Hopefully that'll head off my stroke.

Lol, sounds familiar.

Btw, the Rosemont onramp is where I get onto/off-of 264 on a daily basis. Do you work near Rosemont?

In Virginia Beach they teach us in drivers ed that it's against the law to use blinkers.

Hahahah! WTF?
:Q

 

[Megatomic]

I took driver's ed here in Va Beach (Kellam HS) and they never once tried that on us. I'm sure this is some kind of joke.

 

[Linflas]

What do Charlottesville, Norfolk-Virginia Beach Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia all have in common? They are all places that are inundated with drivers from other states and all 3 areas are the worst traffic hells in the state.

 

[Megatomic]

Good point Linflas. I know here in Hampton Roads the military bases contribute a lot of the crappy drivers we put up with.

VA drivers $uck.

I've been saying that for a long time, and they always get defensive and indignant about it. Their affinity for rubbernecking is terrible.

what about New Yorker?

If 64 is bad, try 395,495, and 95 in Springfield VA

 

[Fenixgoon]

try new jersey.. probably the worst drivers

 

[krunchykrome]

All you gotta do is just merge and dont slow down....they'll get the hint and they will slow down. Thats what I do.

 

[VirginiaDonkey]

I have never seen a worse intersection than that I-95/395/495 If you think the cars in the Daytona 500 look packed, you ain't seen nothin
