Ok, one more. In Bethesda/Chevy Chase, where Willard Ave. dumps on to River Rd., the right hand, right turn lane on Willard backs up during rush hour. This day it was worse than usual because River was also backed up, so only a few cars got through each rotation of the light. I'm waiting and waiting. Finally I'm the second car back from River and notice that while the right lane on River isn't moving, there is room in the second lane for about 6 cars. I pull out and around the woman in front of me (who is too busy on the phone to notice the available space in the second lane) and pull up into the second lane. She gives me a dirty look but four or five more drivers follow me. Once on River her lane moves ahead and as she passes me (10-15 mph) she looks over at me and shakes her head in disapproval. Before I could signal to her that she was No. 1, boom bang tinkle tinkle, she crashes into the rear of the car ahead. She looked back at me in anger as I LMAO and mosied on home.
