.... to avoid dealing with the government.

That way, I would always be able to sleep at home because my route would pretty much be from one end of my driveway to the other.

Their leader was quoted as saying "we plan to go the 55 mph speed limit" which indicates that he's obviously never driven on the beltway during rush hour. NOBODY is going anywhere near 55 mph with or without these dipshits trying to slow things down.
