There are @@@hole roadies like the guy behind the OP. Totally uptight, indignant, as manifested by their yelling this and that.
"Hold your line"???? The OP should've started swerving all over the path to make the guy more perturbed.
And to all those "you should be looking x' ahead of you" people, well, you can't always spot the potholes well ahead. Shadows cast earlier and later in the day, having the rising/setting sun in your eyes can make that impossible.
I'm not going to go plowing through some gaping pothole just to avoid being yelled at by some pompous "@@@".
