I don’t claim to be the best driver ever, but some people amaze me.
The closest main street to our house is not even busy. Traffic at it’s worst is nothing. If you try to cut in front of a car, thinking it’s to your advantage, you’re so wrong.
That brings me to today. Within the last half hour, I went to the YMCA to pick up the uniforms for our soccer team. On this “main street” it goes from 2 lanes to 1. The right lane ends. This guy in what I believe was a Honda Pilot starts riding on my butt right before the merge (after the merge left sign) then decides to try to whip around me with about 200ft to spare. I didn’t even realize it at first before I looked in the rear view mirror and saw he was about to clip the side of the back half of my car. At that point, if I braked he’d have hit me, and the lanes are too close to have any wiggle room to swerve. I laid on the horn and hit the gas to get from beside him before the lane merged completely. The guy honks back at me and flips me off.
SERIOUSLY? He’d have gained nothing by getting in front of me, and he decided he could risk getting in an accident JUST IN CASE he’d be able to squeeze by. I was only going 40MPH, just like everyone else, and this is right before a light.
There should be annual driving tests, where they show images of wrecks that have happened from people who were going nowhere fast and decided it was worth it to drive like a moron.
That’s my rant for today.
