Also the region of the worst drivers I have ever seen. I have been all over the country and driven in Asia (mindfuck), and I-495 is the most godawful place to put a car that I can imagine.

Example:
It rained today. Not hard, not a lot, just a short thunderstorm passing through. People pulled over for it. Not always all the way off the road, and not always where they was an actual shoulder.
On the highway I actually followed a minivan for five miles at 40 mph after it had stopped raining! The sun was shining. I was wearing my sunglasses. We were in the left most lane!

Slower traffic keep right!

I can't wait to move from here.
