Back to School

I was stuck on the freeway today.  No, it wasn’t because it is “back to school” time.  No, it wasn’t the accident or stalled vehicle at the bottom of the School Street on-ramp on the other side of the freeway.  It was Mr. Pokey in the Sentra who forced his way in front of me from the Like Like on/Vineyard off then dropped down to 25-mph.  At least 15 cars took advantage of his 10-second following distance in the few miles I was on the freeway, all the while the traffic in back of him got further and further behind.  The other lanes of the freeway were moving at a good clip, so there was no opportunity to pull out and change lanes.
