No no no no. The recent exploding gasoline tanker on the freeway that took out two parts of a major interchange (in spitting distance from my house) has dumped a lot of freeway commuter traffic onto nearby streets. One of those streets is my route home. This same street also has a couple of in-progress condominium construction projects going on which have messed with the timing of nearby traffic signals. All this results in a large number of cars backed up for long distances, impatient to get where they're going, and being stupider than usual. You might think that I'd switch to driving for the nonce for safety reasons, but if I were driving then I'd be one of that large number of cars backed up for long distances.
