When I signal to change lanes, it’s very much a SIGNAL, not a REQUEST. If you want to request eating the inside of the median because you won’t let me over, that’s your choice.
this is also why i try to leave at least a trailer’s length, two if traffic’s good, between me and the next car. If a transport truck can get in front of me, do their elephant race, and get out from in front of me, without either of us breaking a sweat, that’s a good interaction on the road.
my wife has at times accused me of driving like an old man. and… my nickname has been grandpa since i was in my 20s and maybe that’s because i had some really cool grandpas. but like, i swear karma exists on the roads out here. if i make room for you, there will be room for me. it’s called karma.
lucky so and so. i got hit last year while taking a nap in the passenger seat while my wife was in the library. to be perfectly clear we were parked. she teases me that i cannot even be left alone in the car that was number 11 for me (and only one was maybe 30% my fault dammit). You know how some people weird things just happen to?
I drive a transport truck for a living.

In my 30 years of driving, I’ve never been involved in an accident. People like you are why. Keep on doing what you do!
