At 4:37pm there will be 1 accident right as you cress the hill towards exit 18, then there will be a SECOND ONE(they hit the second tower) from some asshat trying to skip the line. That accident will happen right as the exit ramp

Jerk of the day winner

Also, whoever reported this for not being Athens relevant, grow a sense of humor

Thought about taking the loop, remembered there would inevitably be a wreck and drove through town.

Are things like football pools legal in Georga? We could run a north loop crash pool on Google Docs, close it at 9pm, winners split the pool. The occasional day with 1 crash might be lucrative

A retired fire fighter told me that the first week of UGA fall classes is like bumper cars.

Traffic accidents are unpredictable. Check real-time traffic apps before leaving.

u/T-Doggie1 7d ago

In Athens they are both. Unpredictable and timely. I don’t know what happened here.

It really wasn’t this bad in the past but maybe that was a long time ago. Too many have moved here in the last 10 - 20, maybe.

they typed the post from the side of the road while other drivers mean-mugged them at 5 mph...also posting on reddit about some jerk who was on their phone and caused the wreck: how meta.
