The behavior of "other drivers" has now become a given. If you notice, most of them are damn lucky to get the vehicle from point "A" to point "B". They simply operate the controls without the slightest understanding of the machine or the traffic or the flow of the road.

It's a GD miracle that more accidents don't occur every day and rarely a day goes by where I must deliberately take evasive action to avoid an accident.j

Just yesterday, a semi had moved from the center lane to pass in the right lane. I was travelling the left lane and, once the center lane opened up, I began to move right into the center lane. Would you believe that the semi, for no good reason, decides to take the center lane at the exact moment? Nobody in front of him in the right lane.............

I had an idea that he might do it...........and the only reason you're listening to me is that I managed to get back into the left lane before he hit me.

Running over a flare..............that's absolutely benign............in the grand scheme of things.
