Today's Stupid Driver Trick
Oct. 10th, 2005 12:05 pmForget the two people in the parking garage, walking in a traffic lane at a blind turn instead of using the sidewalk. Forget the pair who waited on the corner until I started my turn, then stepped into my path.
Today's award goes to the maniac in the big white van who started tailgating me as we went down the short hill before the entrance to my neighborhood. I put my turn signal on early and slowed gradually to give him plenty of warning, and he _still_ almost rearended me. I blew my horn as I took the turn faster than usual. He slowed abruptly, looking like he wanted to confront me over _daring_ to blow my horn at him, but he was already past the entrance.
I'm still trying to get my breathing and heart rate back to normal.
