Almost got broadsided yesterday by someone who probably was texting or something.

I saw them in a driveway moving toward the road. There was a car parked which must have blocked the view some but I was very visible and assumed they would stop. As I got closer it was clear the car was not stopping so I did a rapid lane change past a parked car into the parking lane on the right. Finally the car stopped short of hitting me.

This was in my Montero which is a very tall vehicle. I could understand them missing me if I had been in a sports car down low and such.

In such a maneuver the Montero leans a lot!

Ninja reflexes honed in autocross competition save my sorry azz again!
