The weather was beautiful today, cool and sunny with a light wind. The ride was splendid except for the close call.

On the way home I'm at a traffic light in a left turn lane waiting to turn onto a four lane divided road. I get the green arrow and start moving across the intersection toward the right side of the outside lane. The car behind me decides he can't wait and passes me on the right. Since this is the last thing I'm expecting and since I try to be considerate of cars behind me and get to the right side of the outside lane as quickly as possible, I almost get flattened.

Sometimes it's hard to imagine how people in cars can be such utter imbeciles. I'm coming to the point where I'm tempted to conclude that the automobile is a form of mental illness.
