It always seems like it is a redneck in a pickup, usually the lifted pickups that you have to fall out of to get out the door. Every tried to get in a pickup like that in a tight dress? Oh well, I digress

We have a stretch of about 7 miles of really narrow road till you get out to our premier road riding area in Flagstaff here. I have been trying valiantly to get the Forest Service, National Highway Admin and City to come together with the money to widen the road, but I'm sure it is 10-20 years down the road! anyway, I don't know how many times I've been squeezed really hard and run off the road, also had people passing right in my face (now that is scary)! Lots of my friends have problems with this too. Some of the worst are local rednecks in trucks and the others are the tourists who come up from the south to get out of the heat and just don't have a brain in their heads (with their rvs, and 4 wheelers in trailers)!

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine was hit by a drunk driver (who then ran). Thankfully, they found the drunk at home after he had stopped for more beer! Luckily, the friend is doing okay (at least he is alive), broken ankle, messed up shoulder, lots of road rash and cracked vertebra! I just don't know what is wrong with people in cars. They just don't take any responsibility for their inattention or lack of courtesy and or lack of reason when they drive!
