This is definitely one of my pet peeves...

People drove slowly through there *before* the current construction was  
there.  It's like these people are so used to driving 10-20mph from the  
jam trying to enter the spur from 495, they don't bother speeding up until  
they see 270 proper.  Almost as bad are those drivers that merge in from  
Democracy - between diving into the far left at speeds way to slow or  
staying in thier merge lane until the last possible moment, then cutting  
off traffic getting into a small gap when they could have smoothly merged  
in.

Grrrrr.... how often I wished I had automatic weapons sitting behind a  
couple of cars doing 20-30 mph with a 15 car length lead in front of them.
