Driving in Seattle is basically commuting on nightmare difficulty.

Iron man mode, permadeath, of course, lol

The I5 Union Street exit is basically a literal meme for how often people not from Seattle eat shit trying to take it too fast, or when its wet (which is often).

Doesn't help that the signs and lanes are confusing as fuck, and also no one will ever let you merge.
