Almost got taken out today. Would've totalled the GT, too, probably. Damn sense of self preservation.
I used to drive a very raised 4x4 ('75 Blazer on 40" tires). When I did, I was extremely careful about lane changes to my right. Some people drive big trucks without so much caution.
In the right lane of Warm Springs. West bound after Paradise. Suddenly I catch a peripheral glance of a tire. At eye level. Very close. (SWERVE)(GAS)(SWERVE) Narrowly avoided getting pushed into a light pole.
I think my passenger was unamused by the fact that I took the time to roll down my window and explain to this driver just how badly he'd almost messed up... "That sounds like road rage." "No, road rage is when I follow him home and put a dent in his door panel."
(Sense the hostility?)
