Shaking still!
Jun. 8th, 2004 08:41 amI'm driving to work today, traffic's moving well, and then when I'm nearly into the city, in the right hand lane that will eventually be the exit lane, I'm nearly smashed.
No, not drunk. A semi changes lanes -into- me. There was no swerving, no 'gee if I back off a little this will work fine'. Nope, I was about mid-truck when it just decided to be where I was. If it hadn't been for the shoulder, I'd be one very unhappy person with a flattened station wagon at this moment. As it was, the driver never even noticed me until I had to drive in the shoulder in order to get past him. Then he immediately changed back to the middle lane. Aughghghghgh!
I'm still shivering, both anger and adrenaline. Stupid truckdriver. Stupid semis. :P
