Perhaps it's just the way we look at things differently. If I had been "nearly" side swiped my gripe of the day would be with myself for allowing it to happen, if on the other hand a car driver moved lanes without any apparent awareness of my presence I'd be congratulating myself for having the presence of mind to have anticipated it happening and it being a complete non-event.....  |
To be honest, the VFR just sat in lane 3 next to the Ford with his hand out in a "wtf are you doing" gesture rather than taking avoiding action.
