Brame left work at St. Francis Hospital in West Ashley on Feb. 1. She turned on to S.C. Highway 61 and started for home. But before Brame could make it to the Mark Clark Expressway, she managed to anger a pair of fellow travelers. Maybe I followed too closely or something. But whatever it was, it wasn't intentional.
People are just nuts.
It's getting too dangerous to drive home. Brame's story has become all too common. The tension seething just below the surface on our highways is overflowing, leading to threats and, in some cases, physical confrontations. It's stories like Brame's that led S.C. Rep. Joel Lourie to propose a bill this legislative session that drastically increases the penalty for aggressive driving. It's really getting out of hand.
