Bay Area Idiot Drivers conference

Posted on March 27th, 2007 in Rants

If there wasn’t one, there should be one. I swear there is one, and it is today. In Concord.

The Bay Area Idiot Driver’s (BAID) conference must have been called to action this morning. There were more stupid accidents today than there has been in a long while. I am usually not affected by the traffic as my commute is in the reverse direction from everyone else. But for some reason, even I had my fair share today.

For those familiar with the East Bay Area, I drive a stretch of the I680 corridor between Fremont and Concord. Almost everyone in the Bay Area drives from wherever they live to the Fremont (or south to San Jose) area, so that makes the southbound commute a nightmare and the northbound commute a dream. Usually.

This morning there were three accidents that I was fortunate enough to miss. One in Fremont after I got out of the area and two in San Ramon at the same spot. In fact, the one on San Ramon was a three car injury crash at Sycamore Valley Road which was exacerbated by the two car crash 100 feet ahead involving a Cadillac Escalade and a CalTrans truck. Oh well, at least the road ahead was nice after that.

So what do you all think of the new theme? I think I like it, though I want to change the core of it to make it a little cleaner. We’ll see. I have a lot to do today, so I may not mess with this until next week. Til then… hasta la pasta.
