Default close call!!

I was just riding back to work from lunch and I came to a light with several cars ahead of me, the last car was pulling up behind the others and a truck (18 wheeler) was coming up in the left turn lane, and I cant believe what I saw, the car started changing lanes dead center with the trucks trailor and she came within inches of going under it when she stopped, I shook my head and she just sat there ( pissing herself, I am sure). Just another reminder to pay attention, both for you and the other morons around you.

Yikes... Ya plenty of HUA drivers out there - it's rarely OUR fault as riders, it's usually the idiots around us.

I drive a semi for a living, you wouldn't believe the **** some people try to pull... On the road (driving or riding) you have to drive for everyone out there or you're basically doomed.
