I was westbound on I74 through Champaign, IL yesterday and saw a car going the wrong way. There are four lanes each direction and this car was on the shoulder going east in the WB lanes. I always figured if I did that sort of stupid thing I would stop and back out, this guy was balls out for the next exit, or entrance?

    At least he/she was on the shoulder.


    I almost got killed by some Canadians that were backing up in the left lane of I-75 somewhere in S. Carolina. Came over a hill doing about 60 (limit was 55 at the time), and there they were just 100 yards in front of me. Big truck to my right, tanker truck about 100 yards behind me. Did some creative and interesting driving (thanks dad for taking me to a proper DE school), got out ok...

    Had one of those a few weeks ago that got called in. I was able to catch up to him and encourage him to get off the interstate. But 65 at night wrong way on an interstate causes the pucker factor to skyrocket! Turned out to be a case of TMB (Too Many Birthdays).

    Did they move I75 or S Carolina? Last time I drove on I 75 it didn't go thru S Carolina!
