So I'm sure everybody out there has asked this of themselves, but is there something in the air in Seattle that makes people forget how to drive? Is it really that difficult to travel a steady speed? Figure out that if you've been passed by several people on the right, maybe the fast lane isn't where you belong? That you've got to be going the same speed as the traffic you're trying to merge with, and it's helpful to aim for a spot between cars, not try to merge into one? Having just driven 405 twice on holiday, I'm reminded yet again of some of the reasons I dislike Seattle...
