Bridges & Traffic

We here in the Tri-Cities area FINALLY get the bridge work done and then I read this. I have to say I'm really glad I don't live in San Francisco right now!

The truth is that I didn't mind the delays so much as I minded the other idiots on the road. The signs say for miles to merge left and so like a sane person I do and then just as I'm ready to get onto the one lane open on the bridge here comes some moron racing up in the right lane and dang near pushing me into the divider as he cuts in front of me. Everybody knows that there is a lane on the left coming from Pasco merging into the left lane on the bridge right there!

The other incident that didn't really put me in danger but scared me a bit was on 182 between TRAC and the other bridge. I'm driving along noticing there's a lot more traffic due to the blue bridge being closed keeping a close eye on everybody when in my rear view mirror I see a jacked up brand new pickup behind me swerve into the left lane cutting someone else off. The scary part was that he swerved so hard the entire truck was tipping sideways. I thought he was going to end up rolling over and causing a major pile up.

Really glad our bridge construction is done and I'm not in SF. At least we didn't have pieces of the bridge falling on us! :)
