When I was in the Philippines in April, traffic patterns were, well there really wasn't much of a pattern. You just went were you wanted to go, without many lights or signals or rules of the road. Took forever to get anywhere. A 150 mile drive took 10 hours.

Mixed bag on safety though. They don't drive as fast as we do in the states, so the accidents aren't as damaging. On the other hand, they don't have as many safety regulations (for example no seat belt laws) so even accidents at lower speeds tend to cause more injuries.

I'd feel safer driving with those people than driving through Charlotte in the rain.

this times 1,000....people in this city absolutely cannot drive in the rain. One little drop hits a windshield and all hell breaks loose.....

Being from the mountains, I always got a good chuckle out of watching flatlanders freak the fug out when it snowed. Now that I live at the coast, when it snows the 1 or 2 times a year, it's fuging comical. I go out driving just to watch the comedy.

That looks like India.

And by the way, Charlotte's traffic isnt that bad at all. I lived in L.A. for a few months, and in Orlando for a few years. They are much much worse.

Most of the people that complain about Charlotte traffic are people that have never lived anywhere but Charlotte/NC/Some other small southern town or city.

After enduring DC traffic for the last 18 months, I will never complain about Charlotte traffic.

I am not even sure that Charlotte has the worst traffic in North Carolina. The Triangle area, especially on 85 at rush hour, is pretty bad at times.

Traffic around Charlotte is bad because NC cheaps out on everything - especially road construction.

But I agree - Charlotte's traffic is tame compared to cities even a quarter its size.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
