Anyone familiar with Maryland is probably also aware of the two beltways around Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Fortunately I do not have the "Two Beltway Communte" but today it might as well have been both. I am currently residing in Lutherville, MD and work in Arnold. Basically a 35-45 mile trip one way which takes about one hour depending on traffic. Well, today that trip turned into a two hour crawl around the Baltimore metro area.
I just do not understand. When it rains, it is as if people lose all control of their senses when it comes to driving. Things are bad enough when it is dry, but now it is like they have never driven a vehicle before. It is no wonder there are more accidents, so many people are looking at what has happened in other fender benders (or much worse as was the case this morning) that they get involved in an accident themselves because they are not paying any attention to what they are doing or where they are going, they smack into the person in front of them. Why are people so compelled to look at this wrecks? What could they possibly learn or want to know? It makes my commute longer because of their rubbernecking! I hope going home will be better.
