After work I went over to the local Grange store and on my departure turning left into the nearest (center) lane on a road that has two lanes in each direction a very (very) large pickup truck came out across the street. He entered the roadway from a driveway about 75 - 100 feet down the road. He did not simply enter his lane, but began angling across into mine. That was at about the time I had reached the position that he apparently intended to occupy.
I hit the brakes pretty hard and locked up all four wheels.
The sound of that must have made him finally notice that I was there as he was already taking up half my lane. He swerved back over into his own lane, but before I passed him I looked over and guess what? Very darkly tinted side and back windows, I couldn't see the driver at all they were so dark. (makes it pretty hard to aim) /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
Darkly tinted windows are illegal here in my state, but I didn't think at that moment to take down his license plate. If I see him in town again the State Patrol is getting a call. I was so ticked off I just had to get out of there, if not I would have done something that I might have regretted.
A drive in the Midget later and I was back to serenity, but it took 15 to 20 minutes of driving to get there.
