I missed two groups of does this morning on my way to class. I coasted up on them and they didn't move until I hit the horn.
On the way home I pulled out behind a slow moving line of pickup trucks They were probably going 40 mph. I set up a safe distance behind them and did my pulse and glide routine. I saw a large tractor ahead of the trucks at the top of a hill. About the time the tractor and trucks disappeared over the hill, an SUV caught up to me. I was running about 7 mph under the speed limit. In my mirror I could see the driver waving her hands in frustration that I was going so slow.
We crested the hill and there were the four trucks at a dead stop as the tractor was turning left into his field. I had to get on the brakes pretty fast and the gal behind me did too.
If I had not been paying attention and driving like everyone else, bad things could have happened.
