Southern Maryland Drivers

i'm not saying i'm perfect, but has anyone noticed more careless driving around this area within the past 2yrs. Last week driving through Mechanicsville i had a motorcylce fly between me and another car then go off the side of the road to fly by more cars.

Yeah, but I kinda think that is typical of alot of areas, you would think with all the horrific accidents that people have access to see via the ever present media they would reconsider the crazy driving. The one thing I do notice about this area is the amount of idiots that get in the left lane without passing and just sit there for 10+ miles going the exact same speed limit as the guy in the right lane while traffic piles up for a mile behind them. The one and only good thing about NJ is their law about must be passing in the left lane.

While I don't condone the antics of squidly riders on sportbikes, it is safer to maintain a positive speed differential when riding in traffic. I'm talking around 5 mph, not 50.
But at least you saw him. Nothing makes the sphincter clinch like a SUV driver deciding that were you are is an empty space and moving on over.

Someone did that to us once in Alexandria. It scared the crap out of me, enough to maybe not want to ride again.

Their is usually enough room to split lanes and the look on their face when you kick in their car door is priceless. Sometimes they even drop their cell phone.

Kick the wrong car door and you could just be a pile of hair, eyes, and teeth being sponged off the pavement.

There are careless drivers all over, not just in Southern Maryland.

Very true. I've seen guys on bikes ride up next to someone and cuss at them for cutting them off. I just shake my head and figure neither party is thinking about the physics involved.
