I always try to be a courtious driver.
Today on my way into work I pulled left out of my street onto the main highwaY ( left lane). I noticed a little red S10 pickup coming down ( @my road the speed limit transitions from45 to 35) pretty fast (est60+} he was in the slow lane me fast. There are three lights in Lolo (the town I live in), I can usually time them so I don't hit any. This person wanted to be in front of everybody. I maintained about 30mph through all three lights, while S10 passed me three times and slowed down violently (to avoid hitting other cars on the highway). Finally got past the last light and upon accelerating it looked like I had this S10 on a tow bar ( this whole time I was looking to get in the right lane) I accelerated up to 75 mph (speed limit 65) and put my right blinker on, as I cleared the cars on the rightI started to move over checking my mirrors as I did so, last check over my sholder and there is mrS10 in my blind spot with the peadal to the metal.
Any hoo continued up the highway to the next light 7 mi or so away and there MrS10 is accelerating away, as I continued my way @60 mph, just thought to my self what a waste.
