So...
I was driving home tonight from downtown and I saw a car enter the highway from an off ramp!

I was driving North on Lake Shore Drive. If you are familiar with Chicago you will realize that Lake Shore Drive (LSD) is a main North/South thoroughfare for the city. The speed limit is 40mph, and people regularly drive 60-70mph when weather is good.
Tonight was foggy as hell, and traffic was going about 45mph. As I approached the exit before mine, I saw headlights coming toward me from
the off ramp. I flashed my hi-beams on and off to try to warn the driver but the car kept on coming.
I passed the off ramp by about 50 feet when I saw the Southbound car approaching the Northbound traffic that was behind me in my rearview mirror. Everybody managed to avoid him/her but the car kept going South in the Northbound lanes.
I called 911 and reported it, but I wonder if that person hit anybody? Were they trying to commit suicide?
Visibility was like 30 feet and I didn't see any cops chasing this person.

Kind of disturbing

Sounds like a jesus-freak driver from FL is loose up there...

I say this because I live in FL and there is terrible drivers, and I've actually been noticing jesus bumper stickers on cars that have shitty drivers...So don't get offended, unless you suck at driving.

A fellow Chitowner. Damn thats f***ed up. I have seen some pretty crazy stuff in this city. not two days ago a bar right next to my apt, had a huge brawl and it spilled into the streets where this chick jumped on a cops back and tried to pull him off of her boyfriend i would assume. The cop flipped her off and she slammed her head on a car. she got up and was screaming police brutality. I thought that was bullshit. If you jump on the back of a cop whos trying to arrest somebody excpet to get floored. So she was sitting on the corner in cuffs crying saying its not fair. Another time I saw a car pull up to a parked car and toss a molotov cocktail in an open window. Chicago can be a crazy city
