Had a wet ride into work this morning. It wasn't raining, but a line of thunderstorms moved through the area during the night and the roads were still wet at 6:30 a.m. Some bozo pulled out in front of me and almost ran me off the road. I didn't want to brake hard on the wet roads and wasn't sure my brakes would stop in time anyway, so I came around him on the left. Then he pulled into my lane, forcing me to the shoulder. I came very close to running off the pavement but kept my balance. I am pretty sure the driver saw me but not positive. I have a very bright front headlight and was wearing a bright yellow jersey. Good thing I was paying attention.
