Passing on a two-lane
Board: Yakking It Up

Miss Piggy was driving home on the two lane road that comes into our small town. In the opposite lane were three cars approaching. A black one was in the lead, and followed closely by a white car, then a gray car. The middle car (white) decided to pass the lead car. Apparently there was not enough room to pass at thaty speed, but the driver didn’t go back into her lane, and continued to try to pass, forcing my wife onto the shoulder, and the lead car in the other direction onto the opposite shoulder. You could see this driver/ chicken player laughing at causing two cars to go off the road. The good outcome was that nobody was hurt. The great outcome was when the gray car flipped on its lights, and revealed itself to be an unmarked police car, and pulled the @#&* over . Getting to town 45 seconds earlier just doesn’t seem worth the risk.

whew! So glad to hear everyone was ok! Too often that is not the outcome at all. As an added not, it sure was nice to see that the idiot was pulled over! All too often they tend to get away with deadly maneuvers like that.

Be safe!

YAY! That never happens when you really want it to. I would hope that the obnoxious SOB that ran the other two off the road was also cited for reckless endangerment and any other applicable offense the officer could think of.

Glad everybody was okay!

Aaaahhhh, it is grand when they are right there when you need them. I'm glad your wife and the other driver are OK. I hope they pull that sucker's license for a while.
