Have you ever been driving along in your designated lane of traffic and when you notice that the car ahead of you in either adjacent lane is slowly starting to veer into your lane? And if not for your quick braking, or swerving if there's room to allow it, they'd surely have just side-swiped your car. It's like they have a blind spot reflex to just start drifting 8 feet right or left as soon as somebody is nearing them in an adjacent lane. The addendum to these white knuckle moments is that the Mensa scholar that just nearly rammed into your side is invariably looking at his/her cell phone, talking to passengers in their car, etc.
Having had more than my fill of such highway drama, I now simply hit the horn when their wheels begin to cross the line into my lane. And I don't mean one of those polite little chirps of the horn, I mean Detroit Redwing hockey goal horn for a good 3 seconds. Then I'm the bad guy...right!
Another time we'll discuss the slow drivers that inexplicably speed up when you attempt to pass them. What's up with that? Are you offended that someone wishes to drive a higher rate of speed than you? Were you simply born to lead, even if at 53mph? But mysteriously, when you're being passed you stomp the pedal and accelerate like Kyle Bush? If you'd been breaking the sound barrier all along, I wouldn't be trying to pass you.
I may have a stroke.
