I am driving in the center lane of a three-lane highway when a car driving at least 90 mph blew past on the right and cut in front of me. He was going so fast i did not even pick him up in my mirror checks every few seconds. Then the car cut back to the right, in front of another car. I am guessing that the speeding driver was angry at the slower car in the right lane. The speeder could have stayed in the far left lane and got through just fine.
He was going too fast to get the plate number and dial *347 to report him as a reckless driver. Lucky him.
Speeders may have been going to the hospital with a sick child or going to a fire, literally. That is why I never purposely block their path. Even if the person is just a jerk, stay away and let the person through. Blocking the lane can be dangerous for you and anyone behind you.
So move over and let the jerk fly past. Hope the next car he passes is an unmarked police car with an angry officer at the wheel.
The seasonal people are back in SW Florida. Watch out, be more alert and cautious. I know I will be driving my BMW much more defensively. So much for "Paradise Driving."
I'm Rob G. asking you to Drive Like Me.

ReplyDeleteYou are a very good example for the rest of us; As for that speeder, shame on him! He/She could have ended up killing somebody out there. That person must have probably been drunk or one of those speed maniacs.
ReplyDeleteI heard of a guy who's a used car dealer (Houston-based), who almost got hit by one of these bad drivers.
