LOL, it was Sunday in Michigan coming back from up north. That's all you needed to say! It's been that way for years. Just pray there's no construction, that really gets fun then.
Add a holiday plus one week before or after and it's enough to give you a heart attack traveling on Thursday - Sunday. We never travel home from up north on a Sunday if we can help it, if needed we leave way early in the morning before most people are on the road.
It's always a interesting ride watching everyone pass us ( 62-65 mph) and their setups. Pickups and open cargo trailers packed overflowing with things flying in the breeze or nearly falling out ( and stuff does, hit it last year). Towable RV's and MH's flying by. Some you see along side the road later with blow outs or other issues.
To the it's an emergency none of your business crowd, it's a really poor argument. A good lawyer wuold have a field day with that argument if you caused an accident.
