Stupid drivers
Ofcoarse all of you guys have seen it all but still , it just blows me away how stupid some drivers are. Here is a small example . I was driving down Hwy 231 crossing I - 40 .I was in the left lane moving slow , about 20
mph . There is one more lane to my left , but it is for turning . I had been in my lane for a good two miles , with no change. When I got thru the red light at or near the Pilot a car in the right lane came barrelling up beside me , well her lane run out and I guess she thought she could make it past me. I was only going about 20 but never the less she just about ran into me or off the road . I went on down the road and I then got in the middle (turning lane) so I could make a left turn onto Stumpy lane which is where Copart is located. Well right in the middle of where I need to turn there was a guy sitting in his ford ranger talking on his cell phone . Obviously he was headed back toward I 40 and decided to pull over in an INTERSECTION and make or recieve a call. I came to a stop and waited for about 10 seconds, he had no intention of moving so I gently blew my air horn , then he decided to move. I glanced at all of my mirrors , while I looked at the right side I noticed what I believed was the woman who had moments before tried to run into me ,sitting on the right side of the same intersection looking back behind me . Now I am thinking . what the heck is she doing. I finally made my turn and didnt look back . I kept thinking the woman might just be pissed at me for not letting her go around me when infact I could not have done so even if I wanted to so to heck with her. Finally , I dropped the cars and headed back up 231 , about 6 or 7 miles north of Lebanon I was climbing a a small hill and my speed was around 48 . I noticed a silver ford van behind me and a Walbert Co 18 wheeler behind him . Both were on my
tail . I was going to be polite and find a place to pull over but about the time I crested the hill I picked up speed and here comes that 18 wheeler flying up beside me . As I said I picked up a little more speed and tried to slow down but I had this van right on my tail ( couldnt see his grill he was so close ) so I genlty slowed so the 18 wheeler could get in . He barely made it , cars were coming and he missed one by a couple of seconds. BTW it was a no passing lane at the time as well.
