I live very rural where the rules of the road no longer apply.

Most people who pass me, with no fear of "the man", only pass in no passing zones and around blind corners - it seems. I think some people drive for the adrenaline rush.

Had one little Geo pass me. He came within 1/4 second of a head on into a semi as he threw the wheel to get back into my lane. I was maintaining speed right on the fog line when he was doing this. Then he over corrected and nearly ended up under the passing semi's trailer. Thing is, that put me into severe danger since the potential head on/wreck would be coming my way real fast. I guess that Geo driver got HIS adrenaline rush alright.
