    All three of these events are coming in the next 17 days. Spring Break lasts two weeks. You'll have millions of college age students driving everywhere. March Madness Basketball tourney starts tomorrow. There are 64 teams scattered all over the country. St. Patrick's Day weekend is Saturday, March 17. St. Paddy's Day is almost a national holiday. Parades are everywhere. The parade in Dallas for example draws 100,000 people. Multiply that times many cities with parades.

    March has some very aggravating traffic, imo. Forget about making good time. Just try to complete your day with no issues. This is just a heads up for a lot of traffic in the next three weeks.

    The accident that @Pedigreed Bulldog posted where 10 people were involved in an accident due to hitting a parked tractor trailer is the kind of crazy #### that happens in March. Be careful out there.

    I saw a lot of Millennials driving this week, and they were well behaved. That was a nice surprise, especially Friday. Props to that generation.
