No one likes to get stuck in traffic. I was stuck for an hour myself yesterday going home due to the protests. But its doesn't bother me like it does you all. I am much more pissed off when a long traffic delay is caused by some idoit that didn't look when they changed lanes or spilled their starbuck's mega-mocha-half-caf-frappa-mocha-chino in their lap. Can I get the police to charge these idiots with obstructing traffic as well?
If they cause an accident, they get a ticket and could even lose their license based on the seriousness of the offense. The bottom line is that drivers are using the roadways for their intended purpose by driving a motor vehicle on them. Protesters who lay in the road to block traffic are not. Whether drivers operate their vehicle within the law is something they are accountable for.

I can't believe someone having a traffic accident that you assume is caused by their ignorance would bother you more than someone intentionally blocking your way.
