todays MFFY....
So I am driving along in the left lane passing traffic to my right (major arterial, 2 lanes each direction) when someone pulls out of the right lane and starts following me. Not too close, but closer than I would like, oh well... can see he wants to go faster. Tough ****, I'm passing with a good margin and the cop hiding places are up ahead. The right lane opens a bit and there's the tail of a large queue to get on the expressway blocking the right lane ahead. I ease up as nearby are the most common cop hiding spots and the guy following me decides to go to the right lane.... I'm thinking this dufus is going punch it and I'll get the ticket... (speed radar doesn't say which vehicle is going the speed, the cop decides, and he's going to pick my car, not the plain japanese make 4 door sedan) but... he doesn't accelerate to pass me... just sort of stays even with me... tail of the queue coming up.... I am accelerating back to speed as I am past the revenuing zone (a whole 5mph, that I had eased off earlier) so dufus decides to accelerate, cut me off on his way back to the left lane. I sound horn for collision and brake and contact is missed by about 3 feet. So now I am behind the dufus... as we near the head of the queue his signal comes on and he brakes.... there is no one ahead of him in the left lane... he wants to get into the right lane, queue jumping. I lay on the horn... and he puts a hand out the window gesturing to the effect he doesn't get what my problem is.... He finds an enabler and forces himself into the queue. Arg. yeah, I know, average morning... but usually both don't occur from the same driver. |
