Re: Almost hit! Aggressive driving/jealous others?
Mike's right on. I put on 20-30k a year, a lot of highway, and I can't believe some of these a$$holes passed a license exam...ever. They drive in the left lane, are clueless as to what a turn signal is, and jam your rear bumper at 70-80 mph even if you have no place to move out of their way. I was almost broadsided by an sob in Detroit who was too busy talking on his cell to bother looking to the right before he changed lanes. The nice thing about a XF is that you can outrun them and get to an area of road with no one around you. Stoplights seem optional or at least subject to the NJ 3-second rule ("you have up to 3 seconds after the light turns red to get through it"). PS - I still have a lot of respect for OTR truckers -- they still know how to drive and I can't understand how they keep their sanity with all the stupid stunts pulled by car operators. Want to talk about idiots who flick their cigarette butts out the window just as you pass with your roadster top down?
