[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. I think 193 is the most dangerous road in FFX County due to the road ragerz and entitled lead foots that drive on it. The worst road hands down.

Drove it this morning, it wasn't bad. The worst are the drivers who insist on going the speed limit when they could go faster. Also, the letting people in at Swinks Mill should be curtailed. It backs up too many on G'Town Pike. And don't get me started on the light at River Bend.[/quote]

So you are one of the problems.  The speed limits are there for a reason.  Locals like the light at River Bend and would like a light at Leigh Mill and Swinks Mill - if it can be done considering the hill and any curve.

A bridge from western MoCo to Loudoun is not going to help the massive MD to VA commuter volume to Tysons, ARL, and even downtown DC that flows over the Am Leg Bridge.  [/quote]

I'm not a problem at all, seeing as I've never had an accident, nor a ticket on G'Town Pike. I drive at a safe speed, dictated by traffic and road conditions. There are parts of the road that are posted 35 mph that should be higher. The cops don't even drive 35 mph in those stretches.

I would like to see you speed limit absolutists for one day. I'm pretty sure you don't follow your own rules.[/quote]

DP.  I’m not a “speed absolutist” but I generally try to stay close to the speed limit - certainly not below it, but not much above it either.  One thing is for sure - I’m not about to let some arrogant tailgating a$$hole intimidate me into speeding so that he can get where he’s going faster.  If anything, tailgating will have the opposite effect.  Pretty astounding to read the posts stating that you drive the speed YOU deem appropriate.  I’d love for you to tell a cop that when you’re inevitably pulled over.  [/quote]
