Slugging is typically not a very emotional experience.
Sure, a driver might get angry with another driver. A Slug might be afraid when a driver isn’t driving safely, or they might be upset by the driver’s choice of radio station. A Slug might even be annoyed when the driver is driving too slowly.

Never will I ever risk getting a ticket on Northern Virginia’s High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes.
By not having a minimum number of passengers during the restricted hours, Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. northbound and 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. southbound, drivers take the chance of being ticketed, and those fines are not cheap. According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, the HOV lane fines in Northern Virginia range from $125 for the first offense to a maximum of $1,000 plus 3 points on your driving record for subsequent offenses.

DUMFRIES, Va. — Between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Sunday, July 15, motorists should be prepared for rolling roadblocks and slow-moving traffic on north and southbound I-95 between Exits 150 and 148 in the Dumfries/Triangle area of Prince William County.

The rolling roadblock is necessary to protect vehicles in case debris falls onto the roadway while the helicopter removes each marker ball.
Well, I finally did it. I broke down and joined the Twitterverse.
Never ever in a million years did I think it would happen, Sure, there are millions of people taking part in the worldwide phenomenon known as Twitter, but I never really saw the purpose. After all, what’s the point in tweeting, when I have Facebook? What could I possibly have to say that my “followers” would really care about? Who would even follow me?

Just like it was in elementary school, cutting in line is one of the greatest offenses a Slug can commit.
When a Slug cuts in line, or takes a ride out of turn, things are sure to get ugly. Not only will the other Slugs left behind talk negatively about that person and maybe even yell at them directly for cutting, but the offender will have made a name for themselves as the most hated in the Slug line.
