Sounds almost exactly like what happened to me except my idiots were a pair of middle schoolers one of whom stopped at the bottom directly in my original line and the other swerved over into the space that I would have had to avoid them had they moved together.

Serge, you don't ride in our area, I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell us what's "good" for transportational puropses in our area.
