If you've driven through Virginia on I-95, this is believable. There are
some interchanges that are about 30 stories high that look like
something from a science fiction book cover.
>> and those who have animals in cars
I've seen a rash of small animals in drivers' laps lately linked with
some pretty irresponsible driving, and I live near Philly and not Los
Angeles. One guy merely had a retriever sitting up in the passenger seat
while he drove slowly and somewhat erratically in the passing lane. I
finally went past him on the right when he slowed down even more (let's
say 40 mph in a 55 mph zone where the slow lane typically moves at 65
mph). He was very actively petting the animal and talking away as if he
were chatting up a woman. I'm a dog lover, but if you're driving a car,
that has to be the thing you are concentrating on.
