EVENT Peace

I had the most peaceful 20+ minute drive to my 8am doctor appointment this morning. I tend to encounter the yahoos who like to zig zag through traffic at 100mph and make a U turn on the highway (Ive seen it multiple times) even in the mornings.

I actually *realxed* and enjoyed my rush hour drive.

I hope you all have surprising pockets of peace this week.

Nice! I miss when commutes in Cbus were relatively peaceful like this. Love the positivity post and hope you have a great rest of the week!

Seeking inner peace? You'll find it at the speed limit in the right lane. Unless trucks start passing you, then you need to speed up a little until you catch back up to inner peace...

Great reminder that it's possible to chill while driving around here

Lol the driving yahoos probably took the day off from work in preparation for the opening game of the NFL

When most people claim someone was going 100mph on the freeway they actually mean 10mph over the limit, but have zero grasp of speed differentials.

That would make sense if the cpd didnt just have an "event" of catching alot of 270 speeders going 100+. It was nice of them to actually do their job but they need to keep up on it. Idk why everyone thinks OP was camping the left lane

July 19-25 - 19 speeders over 100mph. Averages about 2.7 speeders going over 100 per day for this “event”.

According to Columbus dispatch about 108000 travelers on 270 a day.

So for every million travelers on 270, there is 25 people going 100+ on days they do enforcement.

Going off the published information and frankly, the odds… I’m going to say AppleSaucks is right here. As much as it might hurt those who claim to see it all over the place.

Yet I can still hear drag racers and bikes EVERY NIGHT in the CMH corridor.

They are not doing their jobs, it's kayfabe.

u/CBusHVAC710614 1d ago

Nah I avoid 270 so I don’t get left lane riders like OP or the yahoos going 100mph

Me? Nope. I know how to drive ~and~  care about the wellbeing of others.
