One lane -- fairly wide, but still only one lane. We'd probably have been fine if she'd stayed further to the right, I suppose, though I'd still have been pissed. We'd also have been fine if she'd been moving out with authority -- then she'd have passed me early enough in the turn that I'd have had plenty of room. As it was, the median was looking more and more like my destination.

Honestly, this was where I was, and I'm still not convinced it isn't true.

Maybe, though, I need to get a serious blinkie even for daytime. But I'm not entirely sure it would have helped.
