Close Calls

[DrivingHabit]

Yes the versa doesn't have a lot of performance but we all sure do love our cars. Who all had close calls while driving, like example merging?

EV had a close call, little too close

I've merged a couple times to suddenly have a semi bearing down on my @$$ ... I punched it and the V sped out of there! (suspiciously, both times the semi moved over into the right lane as we were merging...)

An F150 tried to merge on me on the way to Florida, bastard.

ohoh! I had forgotten about this!!!

The other day, I was on my way to court and the road I was on merges down to one lane...

This guy decided to pass me at the last minute (I was right behind another car) so essentially they squeezed me out (while I was blaring the horn).

If I didn't love the camel (and know that I had to have it in Nashville next weekend) I would have let him totally scrape me... hahahaha! Yeah, let the cops come and give him a big fat ticket, and me a big fat settlement... Maybe the Sheriff's Department would've responded, that would have been doubly funny. ;oD

Alas, I love my car more than that. So I just flipped him off, twice (once after I let him in, and once when he stopped to turn left and I got to go around him)

Where to start... This didn't happen in the V, but it happend right after my Mazda was totaled. I was in a leg brace, driving my replacement vehicle (old but well-loved 1987 Nissan pickup) when, out of the blue, a large upholstered recliner flies off a truck and comes bouncing into my lane (on the highway), I missed it by a few feet. That was scary.

It seems like the majority of people where I live don't understand a yeild sign. There's one spot in town where people really tend to ignore it. The road that they're merging on two goes under an over pass and has just narrowed down to one lane each way, plus one left turn lane and people don't even look to see if anyone is coming. I almost get hit there at least once a month on my way home from work, and if it wasn't for the left turn lane I would have probably had my pontiac totalled and my poor little V wouldn't be as pretty...
