You know, you'd fear for your life more if you could believe what you were seeing.

I'll start with one. It's summer a coupel of years ago. On a 4 lane highway reduced to two by jersey barriers from construction. No shoulders, lanes are barely minimum width. Traffic is randomly SLAMMING on the brakes for no apprant reason, and not in the normal NJ traffic kind of way.

Then I catch up to the reason and see why. There is a 1990-something cavalier with a partially clothed child of about 6 standing in the back seat of a car. The car swerves erraticly every 20-30 seconds or so, sometimes enough so he gets bounced off the side windows or knocked on his butt. This occurs about one in three times the car spazzes out.

Since everytime someone joins the show and doesn't know whats coming there's practically a multi-car pileup whenever this happens, I decide to take an opportunity to pass this madness when I see it rather than hang back because it's jsut going to be a domino effect when it goes wrong.

As I get closer, I see the cause in the front seat.

There are two women up front, arguing wildly.

In sign language!
