I was coming home from work today and nearly took out some genius. The expressway Y's off and traffic was backed up on the left hand side. No big deal since I was going to the right. There was traffic in the right land and I was in the next lane over. Well right before the Y, some idiot jumps over from the right lane, nails his brakes and is parked half way into my lane. I had about .2 seconds to find out there was no room on the right and too much traffic behind me to nail my brakes. Traffic was going ~75 and there is no way I would have stopped before I nailed Mr. MENSA. My only option was to thread the needle between his rear bumper and the side mirror of the SUV to my right. I was so close to the idiot's car that it actually whistled when I went by. No way I could have had more than an inch of clearance.

I still have no idea why he did that. Its not like its a surprise...there are signs for 3 miles telling you that the split is coming. There really should be an IQ test associated with a driver's license.

Red is him, black is me

Considering your tight squeeze and your inability to stop due to traffic on your tail, how many of those right on your tail hit Mr Mensa?

Hopefully a severely underinsured one did.
