Today, returning from lunch, 2 cars simultaneously swerved over into my lane. They did this because their lane had stopped and they were too damned impatient to wait it out. I dodged the first one, almost laying the bike down. As I was getting the bike righted, the 2nd car swerved into my lane. I seriously thought that I was a gonner.
I punched his drivers side window partially out of anger but mostly in order to brace myself. I looked up and cars were coming in the oncoming lane but there was a small window so I swerved across to the sidewalk and prayed that no one was on it. After that I sat for a few minutes and regained my composure before continuing back to work.
I have 2 things to say:
- I am very fortunate to have had a clear, albeit small, window of opportunity to get out of harms way. And......
- Fuck those assholes that pulled over on me. May they wear feces as mustaches for eternity.
