Re: Almost hit! Aggressive driving/jealous others?
Yes even out here in rural woods the highway can be scary.
Driver in a pick-up truck hanging out in the left lane. Speed Limit = 70, Driver wobbling between 60-70 with trailer trucks in right lane going slower and causing back ups and lots of mayhem.
Gentle flick of lights - no response. Left turn signal - what was I thinking? The driver has probably never been to Germany and has no idea. I am 2 seconds back ("safe" following distance) and the guy stabs the brakes. It was almost comic because he was so far ahead and I was paying attention.
I just slipped to the right lane and squirted past. I think it's over and discover that NOW the pick-up driver wants to go faster than me and has planted on my bumper.
So I just move over and let him go by. He resumes vacillating between 60-70...clogging traffic again.
Next chance I had I just passed him and became a dot on the distant horizon... He made a half-hearted attempt to pace me as I passed but it was a lame futile attempt.
Always pays to stay back 2-seconds.
