At least around my neck of the woods, it seems that the far left highway lanes that used to be the "fast" lanes have become the pokey lanes. I see it on more and more of our expressways now and I am becoming convinced that these "pokey people" evoke more road rage and violent driving habits among other drivers than the traditional speeding and weaving types.
I watched a woman on the local news being extricated from (I'm not making this stuff up folks-honest) between a semi cab and trailer because she hit the brakes to avoid hitting a skunk of the tollway. At first glance, I couldn't even tell that there was an automobile wedged between the opening until the news announcer pointed it out. Miraculously, I believe that the woman was in stable medical condition.
Ironically, the poor skunk got splattered to smithereenies by another car trying to avoid mad woman that got a close-up and personal look at this passing semi.
