Check this out. Last night I had a nice 16 mile ride and in the 15th mile I was riding on a residential street (no traffic) and started to make left turn when from behind, a car had snuck up on me (this car was real quiet) and was about to pass me on the left. I had just swerved about 2 feet left when he jammed on the brakes (slight chirp to the tires) and stopped. I didn’t even look at him, I just stopped on the right side of the street waiting for him to go on. When he didn’t continue on, I thought there was going to be trouble so I looked and he was bent down in the driver’s compartment and I thought, oh great he hit his head and is knocked out or something. So I rode over to his side of the car and he sat up. He looked ok so I said “sorry about that” and he said “I lost my lunch”. I felt bad until I realized that he was eating while driving and not paying attention.
