People are going blind?
« on: July 02, 2014, 02:50:55 AM »
This actually happened to me a couple of times over the past couple of days - people moving over into my lane, one even while looking right at me strangely, and all in slow motion so it was easy enough to avoid them...



It didn't end the way it did in this video, though...

That really is a nice video with a great surprise ending.

However, I will admit to being a little nervous when riding next to a car or truck.  I do try to limit my time to passing and do not stay next to the vehicle for any length of time.  You just never know when the driver will receive a phone call and start looking for the cell phone on the passenger's seat, or just decide to move into the next lane without looking.  Be safe out there.
