I was on my way home today and about two minutes from my house.  There was a car coming toward me halfway in my lane.  I had to go off the road to avoid getting hit.  She was doing something other than driving, but I'm not sure what.  She may have been talking to a passenger or talking on her phone.  She finally saw me after she would have hit me had I not gone off the road.  It's just grass that I had to get over in fortunately.  Scared me!

I'll spare you my, 'this is what happened to me' story, and just say I'm glad you made it home OK.

In a case like this when it is impossible to take a picture of her license plate, I would have tried to get back onto the road as quickly as I could so I could get her license and report it to the police.  Dash cams too come in handy.

this is not really a SAFE choice......especially in this day and age. also, i honestly dont think that the police would do a thing in this situation.

@NickNackGlad you are ok!

I was never run off the road, but this goes to show you how childish men can be. My husband drives a truck and there were these kids in a souped up sports car next to us on a major highway stopped at a light. If you can imagine, my husband challenged the kid in the sports car. They revved their engines and of course the kid left my nutty husband in the dust. I was so surprised my husband would do something like that, I wanted to strangle him. I would never think of challenging another driver in any way and now I worry that my husband would.

@NickNackglad you are ok. Some drivers are just plain crazy. Very frustrating, but there’s not much we can do about it except give them space on the road whenever possible.

So sorry that this happened to you!!  I'm glad you're O.K.!  I saw a woman the other day who was eating, drinking, and texting while "driving!"  I can't believe these people are so stupid and selfish that they endanger others' lives!

They wouldn't have done anything.
