    DC and Pittsburg. L.A. is bad because you aren't going to be out of the quagmire in a few miles, your stuck in it for such a long duration.

    And you know it doesn’t stop there.

    Now let’s have brakes that work by themselves become mandatory standard equipment. :rolleyes:

    I remember hearing a commercial about lane departure warning. I don't remember the exact wording but it was along the lines of 'feeling drowsy, afraid you'll fall asleep at the wheel, don't worry, with our lane departure warning system...'

    You'd like to think nobody would be stupid enough to take that seriously but...

    As one Consumer Reports reader mused, “Lane-departure warning made me realize that I weave too much, so I'm a better driver now. However, it's annoying in everyday driving, so I turn it on only when I'm driving while sleepy. Then I'm happy to have it.”
    Lane-Departure Warning Is a Turn-Off Feature for Most Owners

    Worst drivers I've ever seen. They'll pass you last minute on the ramp just to cut you off when it goes to one lane, then the ones behind you will zoom out into the highway and pass while you're trying to merge.

    I always try to get through Atlanta between 2000-0430, even if i know my load is ready late. I'd rather sit in the truck stop 4 extra hours than drive thru Atlanta during rush hours. Same with DC & Baltimore. Get through it at noon or the middle of the night or you WILL be backed up.

    St Louis! How come no one has mentioned the mind numbing brake checks for no reason and the fact that NO ONE in St Louis has ever learned what the word MERGE means???

    I would also add the Missouri side of K.C they can't merge correctly to save their life.
