What if this guy swung left to miss that log, then went head-on into the on-coming traffic? Would that have made you feel good? Besides, if I had to drive a member of my family to the hospital in a hurry, I wouldn't be worring about the speed limit, or a courtesy flash.
Stop completely? On a two lane curvy road right after a rain with a speed limit of 40? You are nuts. Really you are.
Speaking of What if's and coulda happend.. What if by delaying his movements I stopped him from running a red light and him killing a family on the way to church? Or if he was a terrorist and was in a rush to go bomb a daycare but because he was delayed all the kids were picked up and went home?
We can go both ways on the what if thing..
Fact is.. he was driving in an unsafe way by tailgating me to the point that he could not see a road hazard and he payed for it with a bit of bump and grind.
And if you are that kind of driver I hope you don't kill anyone rushing your kid to the hospital with a sprained ankle.
edit.. He did not swerve because he was too freaking close to my bumper to see anything more than my rear tire. How could he have seen the log?
