We were almost through the state of North Carolina as we traveled on Interstate 95. It was rush hour and you could tell everyone was antsy and excited to get home. Cars traveled at 80 miles per hour‚ and some were even traveling faster than that. I could now see why it was ranked the fifth worst highway in North America.
