[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do Marylanders think their commute is everyone else's problem?

They decided to take a job in another state. [b]To most people, that would mean moving to that state, not driving to endanger almost every day.  [/b]They simply have no regard for the rules of the road, so they got what they asked for.  People who live in that area should not be fearing for their lives every day because of some a-hole drivers who think they are above the law. There are more and more each day, and it is truly out of control - much like the drivers themselves. [/quote]

Of course no one in McLean works in DC, right? [/quote]

Are we talking about MD vs. VA or something else entirely?  Maybe you should start your own thread? [/quote]

We are talking about the closing of a particular ramp.  Which inconveniences some people.  To which some McLean respondent said - if you take a  job in another state, you should move to that state, and not endanger people who live in that state.  There are definitely people in McLean who get jobs in DC, and do not move there.  Many or most of them drive into DC. At least a few drive dangerously in DC (it's of course easy to tell a Va driver in DC from the license plate, and the make of car can tell you if its an affluent Virginian, though not every driver of luxury cars with Va plates in DC is from McLean - of course bumper stickers can help ID where they are from) [/quote]

The point of the post is that the ramp was closed due to Maryland drivers endangering people at a shockingly high rate.

Yes.  Not sure how that contradicts what I said above. [/quote]

Yup - lots of [b]McLean [/b]drivers apparently think its ok for them to impose on others in the form of driving through their neighborhoods but that they should not be similarly imposed upon.

Having said that MD drivers really are their own version of inconsiderate hell on wheels though I don't think too many people would hold VA drivers up as paragons of virtue.[/quote]

You can't identify a McLean driver by their car, silly.[/quote]
