OK OK. So you don't like my driving style, get over it. As for people
swerving to miss, I am sorry but when someone is past the yellow line on
your side for the past 600-700 ft. I don't think they are swerving. Heart
attack victoms, that is what killed my father so I am pretty familiar with
the effect. My dad was struck by a guy having a heart attack, this was on a
four lane, my dad didn't see him coming because a coal truck was passing and
when the truck saw the car come over in the other lane, he hit his brakes to
avoid and left Dad open, it killed him instantly. If a person does get to
the point of no return to me, then I would more than likely swerve. I
haven't had this happen yet, all the jerks driving see that I am not going
to back down from my point and they get out of my way, yes I am a very
aggressive driver by myself. My point is if somebody is just basically on
my side and taking their good ol' easy time to get over, it speeds them up
when you don't ditch your vehicle. Where I live I suffer from terrible
roads and I like to have as much of my side of the road that I can possibly
have, here if in most areas where I have to drive, if you get out of a
certain "line" you are 1. in the ditch; normally deep enough to swallow your
car whole and do major damage to your person 2. hit head on 3. over the
hill; normally what I have heard many northern guys call mountains 4. in
somebodys house; literally or 5. running over some kid. I would much rather
get myself killed by going head on into some moron that deserves to get hit
than live with myself for the rest of my life knowing that I killed an
INNOCENT bystander because I swerved to miss someone. So basically what I
am saying yes, I am putting myself to risk with my style, note MYSELF and
the OTHER JERK. I see it in the paper all the time where some person tryed
to miss another because they were in their lane and they were killed,
hospitalized, did major damage to their vehicle (yes I am aware that that
CAN be fixed YOU cannot). So to sum it all up, if you are on my side of the
road, and you are looking directly at me, prepare for a sudden impact
because I am not getting out of my way, I'll slow down, I'll get over some,
but I am not going to risk damage to me or my vehicle just to get out of
your way, YOU will have to do that.
