Pay attention while driving on I95...please...thank you.

Finger Drills, Jury Charge, and Lit have been what we have been practicing in school. The problem I’m having is arriving to my class on time. I’ll leave my office exactly 4:30 P.M. driving on US1 to I95 to exit off on 122ND. Sounds like a walk in the park. Three different car accidents were on I95 on Thursday; not to mentioned one speeding ticket for a new Porsche. The first car accident contained three white cars; maybe they just couldn't’t see each other. The second car accident was due to rubber necking the first car accident just a few feet away. Meanwhile, I’m just staring at my watch thinking it will speed up traffic in some miracle. The third car accident involved a rear-end collision because one driver was just not paying attention. Now I’m thinking “I’m home free!” Traffic speeds up and I’m watching the speed increase to fifty-five miles per hour. Next…….it started to rain. At this point I’m wondering if I should just turn the car around and give up. Then it stopped raining and all the lights were green as I drove off 122ND. To my surprise and intense moments of stress, I was only ten minutes late to class. Next, it’s time for a warm up before we take our test. Now I know why college students live on campus.

M might miss you if you moved to school. Bodyguard and Zorro, too. Ah, me too.

I can relate to your pain. I95 is the worst. I stopped taking 95 North in the mornings because of the accidents. More than once I (and several other teachers who live down south) was 45 minutes late for school because of accidents on I95 which shut down several (and sometimes all) traffic lanes! Even though I changed the route of my morning commute, I still can't escape traffic and idiocy.

Heh - it would take me an hour just to get to I95 from here. Nooo-than-kew! I am 12 miles from work and it takes me 30 minutes to arrive. If traffic is bad one way, I can go another and enjoy the fields of cows and grass as I zip by. Traffic! That's one thing I really don't miss!

You gotta remember, we're all Miami drivers just like everyone else. So, to those that expect us to run yellow lights we're the odd balls. There's always someone that hates the way you drive, too slowly perhaps.
