That was one close one Tom!
I never seem to get the drunks pulling out in front of me, just normal stupid people.
Yesterday I was drivin on Expressway in my 94 pulling my car trailer with my 27 hp tractor on it. Well, this lady desides to make a left hand turn in front of me and the car beside me. Its icy out, I pull it out of gear, and start hitting the brakes, witch makes the pickup start to slide sideways, than it straitens back out when the trailer brakes hit full power. I missed her by a couple feet, but if it wasn't for the right turning lane I would have been jumping the curb or hitting someones car.
I hate people that can't drive.

i am a "big car" driver, i see those idiots every day Dave.
sometimes i wonder if it is the almighty's way of cleansing the gene pool.
everybody is in such a big freakin rush these days.
weaving all over the road, using all 4 lanes and both shoulders while driving 20-30 mph over he speed limit only to slam on the brakes and fall back behind me, to do it all over again. and when all is said and done 40 miles later, they end up getting off the road 1 car in front of me.
if you know your drive to work takes 30 minutes, leave the house 45 minutes before you need to be there, this way if you catch a red light you will not be late!!!

I see too many of them. I've only hit 2 of them in my life, and both times there was no way for me tostop or swerve without hitting someone else.
One I hit with my old 73 imperial, totaled that guys car, bent my hood and grill is all.
Other I ripped the front tire and bumper off a Grand am, with a Topaz. Lol. Topaz was totaled too, but could still drive.

been there done that too. one decided to make a right turn from the left lane of the 3 lane. he did not see me in the center lane, and made a convertible pancake out of his honda civic when he drove under my trailer.
another one was inspecting my rear axle for leaks with a toy yoda tercel when the car in front of me stepped on the brakes. the spreader plate on the mack dump truck i was in that day ended up 12 inches into the windshield.
those are two of the better ones. fortunately both idiots lived to think about what they did wrong.

not me. i am used to it.
what amazes me anymore is when i got someone that will stop and let me out into traffic knowing my 100,000 lb + truck is going to be slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter in the arctic circle.

know what i hate??
driving down the road, minding my own business, hit a pothole, and hear a loud BANG as the steering wheel jerks to the left, than all hell breaks loose.
i limped it to a safe spot off the road to find this:
