Thanks, I am definately feeling better after 2-3 hours now. I still cant believe that a woman could do something like this to another woman. I am still kind of shocked.

I agree that this was a horrible situation and no driver should threaten to not let you out of the car, but there are certainly parts of this situation that you could have handled better to avoid the escalation. Your body may be more sensitive to sound & heat because of the pregnancy, but that is your responsibility to be aware of this and "slug at your own risk". It is not the driver's responsibility to accommodate your pregnancy. Perhaps if the pregnancy is causing you to be this sensitive, then slugging is not a good option for now.

You are incredibly lucky that the man in the next car picked you up and gave you a ride, but why would you even knock on the window of a stranger's car in traffic and ask him to give you a ride? I understand you are upset, but if you are already so scared, it seems even scarier to get into the car with a complete stranger in traffic. You are very lucky that not only did he give you a ride, but he wasn't a crazy person or a kidnapper. At least when you get into a stranger's car at a slug line, there is a mutual understanding of where you are going.

well said. oh yeah - one thing you mite want to suggest/add to your post is if she is a closet racist she might want to pass on rides when the driver of the car is an "African American lady"

Wow...this conversation is...interesting.

Lol i'm just amazed that this conversation is still going on.@Deep Don't you think we have enough hate and racism in the world? I'm very sorry you had a bad experience with a driver while slugging in her car. Now you have people watching out for 2 black women in a BMW???? You have sluggers profiling people! The story sound onesided from the begining. But for future please just describe the car and license plate if you really need to put it out there. It does sound like a little hate going on your part. It couldn't have been that hot that early in the morning and for the one that said it was a crime for the driver to not let you out of the car(crime)??? It's more of a crime to put her on the side of the Highway pregnant than riding her to a safe spot while she complained and cursed the whole way. When you slug in someone else car headphone are a must.

Content of her story aside (Because I think it's bogus too.) I didn't see any hate or bigotry in it. She didn't use the "N" word.
I believe it's acceptable to use race as a descriptor.

Approximate age, race, size of build, and gender are all appropriate ways to describe people.

Listen to police some time when they give out a description of suspects... They also use the same characteristics.

I suppose police are all racists as well.

Times to beat:
Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs
Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)
