We were headed into Memphis this week, pulling the TT in the right lane on I-55 with a semi next to us in the left lane. As we approached an entrance ramp at about 60 mph, I watched an SUV coming up the ramp pacing us. She could have speeded up a tad and gotten safely in front of us. Or she could have slowed down a tad and gotten safely behind us. But no. She continued to match our pace until we both arrived at the entrance ramp at the same time. She wound up driving in the entrance ramp right next to our pickup, looked over at us, and started honking. What the ..... ? :?
I guess we were supposed to get out of her way somehow, but running over the semi didn't seem a good option.
Had the same thing happen to me in eastern Oregon on the interstate. A car load of young girls not paying attention, but expecting that we would just get out of their way so she could merge into the traffic flow. No concept at all about how to yield and merge. Semi on my left. Someone tailgating me in the rear. I just laid on the horn, which surprised the female driver, she slammed on the brakes and veered left with a young girl in the back seat giving us the finger as if we did something wrong. You just have to drive now expecting everyone to be self-absorbed, stupid, inattentive, distracted, or under the influence of self-centeredness.
