I drove in Manhattan, either from Long Island or Westchester county.

Both were nerve racking.

Poor road design and light operation is a problem here, but traffic is light to me.

Traffic out here is indeed light compared the NYC, Long Island, & Westchester county. I have found that minor increment weather changes throws everyone into a panic out here. I also noticed that a lot of drivers keep about 4-5 car lengths between them if not more. IMHO this is what causes traffic out here. I will say this though.. The roads here are maintained well! I have driven down roads in the bronx and brooklyn that will dismantle suv's!

If it were me, I would have laughed all the way to my destination.

Just last week, I was riding to Norfolk with four other people. While going through Newport News/Hampton in the HOV lane, our driver was going 10-12 mph over the speed limit. Keep in mind this is an area well known for state police hiding in between the gaps of highway divider. There was a guy all by himself riding our bumper for about a mile. He could have gone around in one of the three lanes on the right but chose to wait for us to move out of his way. When he did go by us he stared and started shaking his head and continued on his way at least five mph faster than us. I remember someone asking, "where's a cop when you need one''.

So he didn't get pulled over? ?

Nope. Not a cop in sight at the time.
