Back country roads, coming to an intersection, and a pickup truck w/ cattle trailer is stopped, probably doing the cell phone dealio, taking up the whole left hand side of the road, plus a little bit of center of the road at the same time.
Plenty of room to get by, but as I ease to the stop sign, I notice a damn Cadillac in my mirror, RIGHT ON MY ASS, tire on the shoulder. WTF!
Most any other intersection I might of had a shoulder, but in my "reaction" I ended up in a 4 foot deep culvert. Kept on my feet however, just kinda held on to the handlebars and rassled it out, cussing the Cadillac the whole times. I think the Caddy was a reddish mauve.
The truck driver hollers my way "that old man didnt even see you until your helmet flew off!"
My only "other" incident involved another Cadillac, a purplish color.
You know how you are on a curvish state road, with a two-three foot shoulder, and traffic backs up. Well, this Cadillac is the only one behind me, and I'm headed into a long downhill straightaway, gaining speed, if he wants to pass he can.
NO cars coming, I'm gaining speed, and the Cadillac still hangs back.
FINALLY he passes me, right as I'm topping out at 33-35 mph. AND THE MF MAKES A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. He coulda waited seconds longer, not even bothered me by passing/turning. Instead, his fat purple ass is taking up the shoulder I'm using.
In the next shoppers guide ad I ran, I thanked the county drivers for their courtesy, "EXCEPT FOR TAG #25F-165549, a Purple Cadillac near Simcoe, who drives like an idiot".
Weeks later at a diner I sometimes stop at in Simcoe, (about 15 miles away) the diner's owner said my ad caught a lot of attention, and the Cadillac owner has been properly alerted.
