Interesting encounter with a driver
So I was on my way home last yesterday and I was on the only stretch of road that does not have a bike lane. I am riding in the right lane and right tire tracks, or close to them. When I am on that stretch I tend to pay a little more attention to what is coming up behind me. I see in the distance a large white truck that seems to be traveling at a good clip. The truck is in my lane and I just know this is going to be interesting. As the truck passes me the driver moves to the lane on the left just slightly and did not leave me much room, customary around here and I have learned to deal with it. I see that the driver gets caught at the light. I catch up, not intentionally or with the intent of starting drama. I filter through and just take a glance in the truck and give the "c'mon" look as she looks over at me. The light turns green, I proceed to my bike lane on the other side of the intersection and she proceeds in here lane.
Not too interesting yet, huh? Let me continue...
I pull up to my house which is only a few blocks away from where the above "incident" took place and who do I see? Yup, you guessed it. The driver of the truck. Turns out the lady lives across the friggin street from me. She sees me and hustles her kid across the street as I had not yet made it clear that I was actually going home and not there to start some drama. As I enter my gate I look across the street and I am certain she recognizes me now as I give her another sort of dirty look and she promptly looks away and scurries to her house.
I have the video and will post to Youtube later tonight to share.
Just thought that story was funny and wanted to share.
Have a good day!
