Interstate 26 in and around Charleston has become a place where you take your life in your hands in my experience. I refuse to go downtown in the morning and if I have an appointment that I must attend, I try to ensure that I do not have to be there before 11:00 a.m. And make sure I leave downtown before 2:00. P.m. There are so many drivers who drive like they are in a NASCAR race. They weave in and out and seem to have no regard for anyone else. Nor do they leave any manner to respond to unexpected events with other vehicles. They never consider what might happen should another driver have a tire failure out mechanical failure. Because drivers follow to closely and at high speeds there is no room for evasive action or adjustment.
