Another long cruise back from Texas yesterday, another close shave with a lefty. You know them. The people that own the left hand lane. They won't pass, they won't pull back into the right lane, and they park in your blind spot. Missouri, you have the worst! RT44 is riddled with people that jam you into the back of tractor-trailer rigs, and follow single file for miles in the passing lane. After dark, and I tried to yield to a dude flying into merging traffic, guess what? Somebody had parked next to me, out of mirror sight, and had obviously been there for a mile or better. Luckily I turned my head to check my six, yup! A miserable squatter that couldn't make up his mind. Followed another dweeb up and down hills while he watched a movie on his center console (sadly, he had St.Charles dealership surrounding Illinois plates).
The Dodge Ram isn't near as bad, hard for them to get near undetected, but the Cadillac has terrible blind spots around both door posts. You have to physically look to make sure nothing is there. I'll admit, I enjoy watching semis box them in and force them to change lanes, but that shouldn't have to happen. Stay safe out there, it's Thanksgiving travel time.
