Inconsiderate Drivers

Ever notice that cars pull into our lane way to close to us once they have past us? It has always fascinated me. I have nearly been clipped many times. I believe the general driving public sees us as near stationary objects. How much room do need to give a house when turning in front of it. I am sure truckers must deal with this constantly.

  • I was stopped at a light getting ready to make a right turn. Naturally, I'm leaving some space on my right in order to make it wide. As I'm getting ready to go a pickup truck squeezed in there and was making a right turn next to me! I ended up catching up to him in city traffic; I gave him the what-are-you-thinking look.
  • I just set my cruise control a little slower when it seems they all need more room.
  • I have an opposing opinion.

    Those that are being passed often unconsciously speed up. We've all seen this unconscious practice.
