Almost got busted for Aggressive Driving..

[nemelek]

Rarely do I speed. However a month ago I had to make a 140 mile round trip after work to pick up some beef. I had every intention of going at least 10 mph over all posted speed limits. I got stuck behind an Audi doing 5 mph over in the left lane on a 3 lane highway. When there was an opening to the right and the highway went from 3 to 2 lanes I changed lanes to get by the Audi. When he saw me pull along side and his lane soon ending, he punched the gas so I couldn't pass. Shortly after that there was a motorcycle in my rear view mirror. He went around me and pulled over the Audi.

It was funny on how the dumb SOB who wouldn't obey the slower traffic keep keep right sign got the speeding ticket.

Textbook care of aggressive driving... and this was the sort of situation that the two of us faced. Except I was the one who bailed out first because I saw the Man first.

When I drive I act like I'm on a bike. I'm always looking around. Good for the neck, good for the eyes and good for the pocketbook.

I think that adding ten minutes to my trip would eliminate this non-sense. That and a more structured morning. Make my day at work go better too.

It's a no brainer, really.... it'd do my heart good to pass through one of these again and be totally ignored because I was obeying the law.
