It had crossed the double yellow to pass me (which is absurd because there was a lane and a half of room on my right for him to pass me). It was shortly after that I bought my helmet mirror.
Well, since we're playing one-downsmanship, I have one better than that. It was on a suburban road, not a city street. I already had my arm out, and I was dead in the center of the road. The road had no markings or lane lines, though. I heard a noisy car coming up behind me and got a bad feeling, so I didn't turn left. She passed me on the left. I was towing my two little daughters in a trailer. If I had turned left, she would have mowed us all down. She was not stopping. Maybe she thought my signal was an invitation to pass me.
