ASSHOLE driver was way over the center. I had the camera rolling for our trip to sac for the day.

Still had a great time with all.

If you think that was way over the center, you wouldn't last a week in PA.

That was, I believe - the River Road? If so it is narrow, but worse there is river on one side and wetlands on the other. You are basically driving on a levy. If the car hits you, you're dead. If you take the river, you're dead. You guys were lucky he corrected.

Sports car clubs use the River Road all the time. I bet it was some local purposely giving you "what for" Yikes for sure!

The video doesn't show just how far over and how close he got to john. I'm surprised John didn't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) himself

I understand.
Still, left to their own devices, a PA driver naturally aligns him/her self directly over the double-yellow...

My daughter was run off the road by a pickup pulling a dual axle trailer that came across the center line on a back road. She ended up taking out some barbed wire fence and posts. Totaled her Xb but thankfully she was unhurt. Truck driver went merrily on his way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Apparently you have never driven in Memphis, he had tons of room.

Jeff, Thanks for the video,like Lennie said that guy was almost a full car in my lane and was within 40 yards from me, and we were doing about 70mph, I think he was texting or something because we were going straight no turns. It was a scary moment, and glad the big guy upstairs didn't need me at that time of my life. came home and hugged the wife before I told her, Thanks again Jeff, John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Had the whole family in the 914 tow-mobile yesterday going to my son's parade. Went to make a right turn onto the main road when an ASSHOLE in a red Explorer pulled out to pass on a solid line. Yanked hard to the right to avoid the DOUCHE. Not the first time this has happened at the same intersection.

I'm glad you didn't have to ditch either. And 70 ? My GPS showed a little faster than that! I got the video done of the trip. I'll post it on youtube tonight. You are one hard MOFO to keep up with !

You can really only see Lennies yellow 914 in the video. The guy had already "corrected" by this point. What you didn't see was John in front of Lennie. And yes it was river road, drop offs on both sides.
