I actually wait 5 seconds and make sure everyone stops.

I do too and will teach my children to do the same. I'm terrified my 13 year old will be driving in a few years.

Not unless their is a light or stop sign. Good way to get rear ended.

People in this area are so damn impatient. As if the few minutes they save by cutting in and out of traffic will make some big difference. Because THEY are busy and important.

It is entitlement, road style.

I agree. I don't think the MoCo police enforce traffic laws anymore. They are too busy running silly , unwarranted 911 calls.

Drivers in this area appear to be insane …. You can’t indicate to change lanes on the beltway or people speed up to cut you off and have been rear ended by tail gaters multiple times … I can’t think of any cities in developed countries with more aggressive drivers … not meaning to leave out folks in Cairo/ Delhi/ San Paolo etc. but trying to make reasonable comparisons … maybe I’m wrong but even when driving in heavy traffic in LA, I found the drivers more chill ….

Enjoy them before or after driving. Put them in the trunk so you don’t get tempted during your trip.

This . I'm sure PP was using hyperbole but if you are distracted by anything, put it in the trunk. If you can't resist the ping of your phone PUT IT IN THE TRUNK. Chatty passengers? Right in the trunk.

I agree. Reckless/AGGRESSIVE driving and high speeds are more common IMO. Ugh, I hate it.

A young woman driving a white jeep Cherokee nearly killed my family last night. She was speeding around the Rio garage over by la madeleine. Easily going 50mph and whipped around a blind curve while we were crossing.

Slow the F down!

Please
Put your phone down.
Leave your hamburger, donut or coffee in the trunk.
Slow down when you approach an intersection, even if there’s no stop sign. Hit the brake, not the people crossing.
Share the road, not your craziness.
