So I had to drive quite a distance today. Thank goodness I was paying attention! As I was lala-ing along my way things got dangerous FAST!
Suddenly LOTS OF BRAKING. The SUV in-front of me swerved to the right barely missing the back of an 18 wheeler. I managed to slow to about 40 but was coming in hot. I had seconds to make a move. I noticed the pickup next to me pull to the right giving me room to swerve.
Some jack@$$ was pulled over ON THE LEFT. His pimp mobile looking thing was blocking half of the left lane. We were going 75...I have a little car I can't see much past SUVs. And no, I was not tailgating!
I missed the pimp mobile by millimeters!
It happened so f**king fast. But I can't thank that pickup enough for his quick reaction. It was either slam into a stationary vehicle going over 35 mph or side swipe aa truck going who knows how fast. Those were literally my options because there wasn't enough time to brake to a stop without possibly losing control.
Who the f**k does that?!?! I've had car issues on I10. You either get over to the right somehow OR you pull all the way into the grass on the left. You do not...I repeat DO NOT block half the f**king left lane of the Interstate.
I hope that moron made it home safe. Had I slammed into him I would have been severely injured. He wasn't in the vehicle, I saw him on the phone in the grass. My driver side would have been the side that hit.
That would have been very very bad for me and who knows how my little car would have ricocheted around after. It was rush hour...there were BIG vehicles everywhere!!!!!
My point is use your brain. Don't block lanes of traffic if you can avoid it and DO NOT BLOCK AN INTERSTATE! So yea, thank you guardian angel, the universe, the big guy....whomever...I am just glad it went the way it did.
I hate driving...not because of the driving itself but because of the other idiots on the road.
I'm out...time for a shower and bed.
