Ohhhhh, now I get it!

You know when you're driving along on the highway and all of a sudden you see brake lights and have to slow down? Now you're stuck in s*l*o*w traffic. After about a mile, everything just clears right up! There was no accident, no cop just cruising along at the speed limit, no 100 year old blue haired person driving 20 mph...NO reason whatsoever!!! Have you ever really thought about how that happens? Well, in case you haven't figured it out, let me shed some light.

It happens because some bonehead, who is in a big ol hurry, and probably doing 90+, has to put their brakes on because the person in front of them isn't doing 90+. That in turn makes everyone around that person tap their brakes as well. Then everyone around them cautiously taps their brakes too. And so on and so on. Now you've got a miles worth of traffic slowing down for NO REASON. Just because of some bone head with a lead foot.

Next time you're on a busy street or the highway, watch that person who zoomed by you and see if you can't watch it happen.
