Timely post. Yesterday I happened to take the Lodge for the first time in a long time. It wasn't too crowded and most everyone was doing 60- 65 but safely. Problems occurred with a handful that insisted on doing 70+ weaving in and out around the "slower" cars, missing some by what seemed like inches. If those people get busted, I have no sympathy for them. I have friends, usually iPhone users, that insist on driving with one hand, while holding and glaring at the phone, with the other. I seldom ride with them.
I also took 696 through the construction zone, where they're "fixing the damage roads". Surprisingly, drivers were courtesy, driving single file, letting mergers in and out. Of course, there were a handful of the usuals, hitting the gas, [or the electricity] and trying to cram in at the end of the merge lane. That caused slow downs and back-ups.
