Beginning Friday, thousands of anti-government drivers reportedly will converge on the Capital Beltway over the holiday weekend. Other protests are planned nationwide.

Drivers plan to occupy three lanes of Interstate 495, driving 55 mph, with the fourth lane kept clear for emergency vehicles and supporters. Only motorists displaying the group's Twitter hashtag on their vehicles will be allowed to pass, Andrews and other organizers say, adding that the protest would be peaceful and lawful.
