I Got "Rode Ragged" Today!
There were four of us in my Land Cruiser, myself along with my two sons and one of their buddies. We were northbound on the freeway, heading out of town in moderate traffic, driving in the center of three lanes (with an additional HOV lane to the left, making four). Just going with the flow, nothing unusual. Still dark out.
Then "this gal" appears in my rear view, going like a bat outa hell, weaving across all lanes. I first notice her a couple hundred yards behind me. So, maintaining heading and altitude, I'm just carrying on, knowing she'll be past and gone in a flash. Except, well, that's not what she did. To be continued.....

I should also mention her high beams were 'on' during the whole episode.

Next thing I know, she's passing on the right shoulder. Comes back across the right hand lane and into the center lane in front of me, and brake checks me. She's in some little Nissan Sentra schitt box, I'm in a fully loaded (in more ways than one - I'll get to that later) Land Cruiser. I still don't know how I didn't hit her. So now she is doing the "slow creep", 40 mph in 60-65 mph traffic. So I did the right thing and... turned my high beams on. And she brake checked me again. This time, I saw a gap....
Gotta love the gap.

-She enters the passenger side, Hell of an arm on this gal. Or maybe lots of practice...

She took one more low pass at me before departing, half out her window.
(I can't give any details...this is a family site)

Rode ragged must be unfamiliar to most here.
I see part II coming tomorrow....depending on JH.

The turtles want to give all the credit to Higgs. I agree with them.

Ragged...as in sore.

I really hope she didn't get ticketed for the whole fiasco.
