There's a nor'easter. The roads are a mess and someone rammed a state police cruiser at one of the worst traffic choke points in the area. You're taking a secondary route that only makes sense as an emergency at night, but you figure with the closings and delays that it might make sense today. You're on a back road stuck behind a manly guy in a pickup doing 25 or so and constantly tapping his brakes on the icy road.

Eventually he turns off the road and your first thought is Finally, I can turn off my engine and start making good time.
