    What a mess. About that hour too to get everything moving. I like to wonder how they managed the truck ban on 144. If i remember right.

    I don't know.

    There is a particular interchange in a section of I70 east towards Baltimore prior to the Columbia turnoff that would be very easy for someone sleepy in the morning to make a bad turn down against a traffic ramp into the oncoming side of that highway. I forget the name of it right off hand but if it is the one I am thinking of, thats a source of conflict from time to time.

    That particular BMW would have been hammered off the road. I'll take the music in court even if it was a KIA. Sometimes enough is enough. Just one point that 80000 pound monster does strike back due to physics.

    A tiny tap on the corner behind rear tire is more than quite enough to do it. And who is HE to say whoops?
