Guest Commentary: 99 Problems on Highway 280

We've all been there or heard the horror stories so it's easier to clear the air from the very beginning - if you've ever had to drive down Highway 280 to get to or from Auburn, then you know it's the most boring drive ever.In addition to it making you want to sock yourself in the face every five minutes in order to stay awake, the speed limit heavily decreases in several rinky-dink towns where there are more cows than people and more people than teeth.From there, you have the issue of whether to speed.I myself tend to be a grandma on the road.Even when I'm going fast it's too slow for the people around me, and yet I have managed to get speeding tickets on 280.Either way, the cops are ridiculous on that road.Yes, I know, we as law abiding citizens must adhere to the laws of the road, but come on officer, I'm bumping to T.I.
