PLEASE learn how to drive!

I have had the very unfortunate luck to drive from North Natomas to the area near the Pavillions every day this week. Why is it that Sacramento drivers do not know how to drive? I've driven all over our country, from LA to Seattle, DC to SF. I even drove in Barcelona, Spain once. I swear, we have the worst drivers ever, anywhere.

For example, this morning while on I-5 South at the 50 interchange, some numbskull in the fast lane decides that he MUST take 50 or the world will end. So he cuts across all 6 lanes of traffic to the Q Street ramp, realizes his mistake and cuts back again one lane to the left. I slammed on my breaks so hard my poor little guy in the backseat dropped his book. Then I had to slam on the gas to get away from numbskull2 behind me who was text messaging or something on his phone and not realizing that everyone was stopping, came barreling down behind me.

Seriously people, slow down and pay attention! You will not get there faster if you hit me because I am going to wait for my insurance claims adjuster to come and I promise, it'll take hours.

A quick tip for those of you who are good drivers- check the CHP traffic incident info page before leaving your house to see if the roads are clear. In high quality government web design, you will have to select Sacramento at the top of the drop-down screen.
