I'm always a little bit nervous when I am behind a bike, it just wouldn't be the same as rear ending a car. So I am more careful, especially bikers in this area are kinda stupid and do tricks on the road, if they fall then I would end up running them over.
But onto my experience yesterday.....
I was merging onto a highway with a SL of 65 MPH and there were 3 cars in front of me. Well the first car's driver must have gotten confused and kept driving in the shoulder instead of merging. Then all of a sudden she got onto the highway but didn't speed up while the rest of us were going 55+. So everyone had to brake hard and I switched into the left lane avoiding a collision (rear ending a car while going 55+ would not be fun).
So, my teenager driver within came out and then I waved my hands in fury but didnt give the finger.
I might have also cut her off short. I know, its not very hypermiler like.
Cliffs:I was the guy that you are all taking about in this thread, but I feel I had a real reason to be angry.
