So I was driving down the road yesterday afternoon on my way to a friends house for a bbq. I turn onto one of the main roads in our area, get my speed up to 50 (the posted limit!) and start cruising. Only to have to come to an almost complete stop and drive at about 10 miles an hour. Why you ask?? Because there was a cyclist in the road. She didn't move over onto the shoulder, and I couldn't go around her to pass as there was a long line of traffic coming the other way. Now don't get me wrong. I like a bike ride as much as the next person. But SERIOUSLY? You are going to drive IN THE ROAD, tying up traffic because you are too self centered to think beyond yourself? I understand that pulling over onto the shoulder may have meant that she would have had to stop for a few minutes, thereby halting her workout or whatever..but come on. She doesn't pay road taxes (part of the gas price you pay is for roads!)..she doesn't have to pay for tabs or a license to ride. So she is riding on roads payed for by motorists for FREE. Granted, I am sure she has a car and pays taxes too, but surely CARS have right of way on a highway??
Anways, I finally got passed her and layed on my horn (yes, road rage! lol) and she FLIPPED ME OFF! I should have just hit her when I had the chance! :)
Hugs to all,
Jaye
