Congrats on driving the Beltway! Do you drive an 18 wheeler? If I ever made a list of a thousand things I'd like to try, driving the Beltway in an 18 wheeler would be at the exact bottom.
Like our daughter, who lives in DC, says when you drive the beltway the first thing you do is accelerate to 90 mph, then look to see what traffic is doing.
Drivers who can't drive a constant speed drive me nuts even in a car or pickup. The worst ones are the ones on a two lane road who poke along, half asleep, 5-10 mph under the speed limit. Then when you get a chance to pass, about the time you get even with them they wake up and speed back up to the speed limit.
I like to set my cruise a couple mph over the speed limit, and set back and enjoy the ride. I routinely cover an eight county area on my job and I've pretty well picked out the routes from point A to point B that are the easiest drive even if maybe a few miles longer.
