I was doing my usual 40 mph with 3 car lengths in front. A car on my left saw the empty space, I had been in her blind spot for about 15 seconds and felt that she had forgotten that I was there. I was right, she flipped on the blinker and without looking cut into my lane. On the horn quickly and pinned against the curb, I manged to avoid the collision. She (black female) moved back into her lane. As she slowed I went past and motion to my head in the universal "pay attention" sign. We both drove on. After a few more lights we were stopped next to each other when she rolled down her window.
I can't believe what happened next. She apologized, with a big wave and a smile. I called out 'thats ok dear, have a great day"
We both drove of feeling good about our Friday. Be patient with your fellow man, it can sometimes suprise you.
In a totally unrelated story, I pulled up to a stop light next to a blond in a convertible mustang. Took a sideways glance to check out the driver and she was eating a corndog. 8 am corndog sure looked good being devoured by that young lady.
Enjoy your friday, I'm off to a good start.
