So.. this is why it takes so long for people to call 911. Video first, 911 second

Jim, I think I might want to avoid I95 on my bike. I81 throught VA, WV, MD, and PA will be frightening enough.

So how has my week gone... WON a MAJOR battle with a huge dragon...

...then the week slipped downward... maggot infestation... spider infestation... then I almost killed a motorcyclist who passed me on the right at a freeway interchange which also hosts an exit and as I went to change freeways and exit simultaneously - he thought he would sneak around me on my right and just about died as I missed his motorcycle by inches....... then a few short hours later... I almost got hit head on... when a SUV entered onto MY side of the median at a traffic light where I was stopped... Thank Goodness I was stopped as he came to a halt just inches from my front bumper... as his female passenger was screaming at him hysterically... and everyone around me was gesturing excitedly at me as they called 911...

...now if that did not get my blood a'boiling... less than 15 hrs later... in the middle of 6 lanes of heavy freeway traffic - they driver behind me thought he would pass me and the car in front of me on the right quickly, just as another a-hole traversed across 3-lanes quickly into the same tiny free space in front of the car in front of me - now neither of these drivers cared to look around and see other moving traffic or consider that their 80 MPH aggressive action in heavy traffic - which had been intermittently coming to a full stop just a few miles back - would result in both of their driving errors almost taking out another 5 of us cars as they missed each other by inches but swerved violently across 3 lanes trying to avoid each other - and adapt to their over-corrected moves.... their spinning flying cars would have EASILY taken me and the car in front of me out... and the heavy traffic on either side of me... THEN if these boys had not had enough fun for a day... they thought they would road rage AT each other for the next few miles >:( Here in California the police will create a traffic break and slow all lanes of the freeway with a police car zig-zagging across the lanes - in this case we all created our own traffic break giving these a-holes a WIDE-BREAK... so none of the rest of us would be caught up in their crazy wreck...

... it is interesting to know... this happens... so often here.. that they have a legal accident term "NO CONTACT HIT_N_RUN" by which crazies - who did not actually come into contact with your car - could STILL have CAUSED you to crash - through a chain reaction series of events !!!!

So needless to say... my week is going brilliantly well... how about yours?
