Yesterday I was driving in the country--one lane each way, no passing--and I was doing the limit (55), and I looked in my rearview mirror and I couldn't see anything but the front of a Ford F-150. I swear, this guy was *one* car length behind me. I prayed a deer didn't choose that moment to dart out on the road (it happens, here). I took the very first opportunity to get off the road (some poor schmuck's driveway), and Mr. Ford blew past me like a tornado. Being an educated person, I thought to myself, "What the f-ing f-?"
As unnerving as this was, it was not an unusual occurance; it happens on that particular road all the time. I'm always doing the limit, or close to it; there is nothing provocative about my car, nor do I have any nasty bumper stickers. I, myself, appear normal, and do not shoot the bird out the window or do ANYTHING that would irritate other drivers.
So, Yahoo people, what do you think? What on earth is up with these drivers? What would you do?
