    "I drive my personal vehicle because we don’t have public transit in LW. It’s 16 miles to where I work but it usually takes me 45 minutes because there are too many people on the road. Hwy 27 is like a racetrack and you literally are living on the edge when you drive on it. Too many people for this small area."

(drive 3 1/2 miles further than necessary the a right turn followed by a right turn basically back tracking where you just came from"
