I think I must have had the invisibility cloak on my bright red car today. I had a teenager pull in front of me to the point that even slamming on the brakes, i almost did not stop before hitting her. then I was in the right hand lane of two lanes heading north. An ambulance came up behind me in the left lane. The person in the left lane did not even check to see if he was clear before just pulling over into the right lane. I hit the brakes and pulled into the shoulder to keep from being side swiped. Just frustrated with drivers in my town lately. I could go on and on and on...

Sounds like a few people need to go to road rage class. I know road rage is a bit different, but the fact that they don't seem to be paying attention and generally being a butt on the road, they need a wake up call and a courtesy class to say the least!
Glad you're ok though!

I understand the wanting to get out of the way of an ambulance and maybe not really checking your blind spot...that does not excuse it and causing an accident is not really going to help the ambulance get to where it needs to be any quicker, but the other person not even looking and just pulling out in front of me really irked me.

hisyria here in California a lot of drivers have more cents than sense and alhough i am not a driver, I have seen even OCTD buses have to
slam on their brakes for drivers who cannot even see a vehickle as large as a bus!!U remember my son telling me on being on the freeway in his pals car and having a red convertible pull past them forcing them over to another lane and going probably at least 90 miles an hour My son told his friend I bet that guy in the convertible is going to lose it. and about a half hour later the traffic in all four lanes ground to a complete halt. there on the left side down a slope off the freeway was the red convertible on its side, Paramedics with a gurney and a body bag, wrecker the whole bit. the freeway was shut down for over an hour as they
pulled the driver out of the car. It made me half sick the way my son told it too. they just are so careless on the freeways as if they were invulnerable
to any harm.
to any harm.
