You see, I was driving towards him from the other direction. Partially blocking my lane was a delivery truck that was in the process of dropping off his wares. Because he was partially blocking my lane, and because the oncoming lane is actually a big double lane to accommodate parking, I was driving about a foot over the yellow line.
Do you think this guy could pull over a bit? The huge double lane with no cars parked in it might be enough space? Noooo. Numbnuts steadfastly refused to move over, so at the last second, I had to jerk back over the line and hammer the brakes while buddy passed me waving his arm in the WTF kind of way. Yeah, buddy. WDF indeed.
I can't wait for a little angel to reply to this post quoting the rules of the road and completely ignore the fact that sometimes common sense supersedes the rules. In this case, the road more than accommodated two way traffic and a delivery truck parked on one side. All it takes is for the guy with the right of way to yield two feet of his 25 foot wide lane. Why is this not an automatic reaction for people?
