I am going north on I-81 between Staunton and Harrisonburg VA. today on "Black Betty" my 2014 Connie. Running with the flow of traffic, (which was very heavy) at 75mph in the right lane, I see a SUV Ford Escape coming down the "on ramp."
I can't give any room, as I have a car right beside me on my left, one on my 6 (too close) so I can't slow any to let the SUV have room. Well this moron keeps coming and crowds me over towards the car on my left. Mr. Moron is about a foot away from my right mirror when he finally wakes up and realizes that I am in arms length of his driver side window.
I have left plenty of room between me and the car ahead of me, a safe following-distance, so I grab a hand full of throttle and shoot ahead and out of the danger zone of this blind idiot.
I am running high beams, have a red and white mesh motorcycle jacket, and a full face helmet that is also bright red and white, but I don't believe this driver even saw me until he was in my lane and nearly crowded me in the car beside me!
At times, extra horsepower can be a life saver!
