Like I said, I don't cruise in the left lane, I pass in the left lane. It's
the idiots who won't even give you a split second to get *back* into the
right lane before they have to try blow around you on the right. They don't
get an even break in my world.

Ain't that the truth. A few weeks ago I was traveling the NY State Thruway
with a truck-load of family and luggage, actually held up for a moment
thanks to several cars in front of me in the left lane. Suddenly this
incredibly road-raged man carrying his wife and young children shoots by me
in the right lane and cuts back into the left lane in front of me, at what
seemed to be a foot or less from my bumper as if to send a message. Those
of us in the left lane had been going about 75 mph or so, so I would have
put his speed at about 85-90 mph.

Scared the crap right out of me and the thought of him catching my bumper
as he cut back into the left lane sent shudders down my spine. In
retrospect, though, any contact probably would have resulted in his smaller
SUV rolling over, but the thought that there are individuals like him who
would put their young children and other drivers in that kind of danger
just boggles my mind.
