Driving anywhere in Columbus is scary anymore… people cutting you off with inches to spare no one uses turn signals, swerving in and out of cars

@zju2130 I thought it was just me. I thought everyone hated me or my company….

People drive in this area like it’s a race track all the time, I keep saying we shouldn’t be treating 270 like it is one. There’s no reason to go 80mph on it.

This part of 270 is always crazy. People drive too fast and then cut other people off.
