Yesterday was one of those days that just provided me with so much raw material, it's hard to know where to begin. I had to chuck all my well-ordered plans to drive one of my charges to the hospital in New Britain. Annoyance number one: People who don't know how to park. The lines are there for a reason. You are supposed to park BETWEEN the lines, not ON them, a fact that the driver of the Nissan Rogue, CT plate 802 WSL, failed to realize. Not only did she park on the line on the driver's side, she managed to park across the line dividing the front and back parking space. A double whammy!
After work, I had to drive to Greenwich, another double whammy, traveling on I-91 and I-95 during rush hour. A word to the wise: if everyone around you has their head lights on, the street lights are on and it's almost 6:30pm, you need to put your lights on. That's meant for you, NY plate FAV 2517.
The merge of I-91 and I-95 is not fun on a good day, but when someone driving a BMW with CT plate 606 XUP decides to ride the "Exit Only" lane all the way to the merge and then tries to force her way into the line of traffic, it's more than a little annoying. She finally caught up to me at the Woodmont Road exit in Milford where she felt the need to brake in a line of fast moving traffic at 11 second, 9 second, 6 second and finally 2 second intervals. Do you think maybe she was a) tailgating and/or b) driving too fast?
There were a series of accidents on the NB side of I-95 and you would think that would give people pause, but it didn't, especially the driver of the Audi with NY plate AXG 4918 who zigged and zagged in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed in the area of the Westport exits.
Coming home was a lot less hair raising. After all I'm here to post another day, and I'll be watching!
