i guess passing on the left on a 2lane road is legal now. (1 lane each way).
the entrance to my jobsite is mostly industrial, so people do well above 50mph (no posted speed limit). i was crusing about 30 getting ready to turn. i double pump my brake like normally do b4 i start braking, and turn on my left signal. i look in my mirror over my shoulder and see a car barreling down on me. thinking he's gonna go around to the right cuz im turning left i start to initiate the turn. i look over and here he comes on my left side!! so i slam my brakes as he goes flying by my on the left side doing about 45-50mph literally inches from the front of my bike almost T-boning me. i throw my hand up as a "wtf!?!" gesture just as i see all 3 of his kids in the backseat of his impala jump up and look out the back window at me.
so i pull into the parking area and decide, what the hell, imma see where this guy goes. but by the time i get turned around and out onto the road, there was 2-3 turnoff where he could have gone. going as fast as he was, he was probably long gone. the asswhipe didnt even look in his mirror back at me, or hit his brakes to slow down after he almost made me a windshield ornament. fucking cagers.
i was pretty shaken up for about an hour or so at work. i wanted to leave early and jsut go home cuz i cant really do much data entry when my hands wont stop shaking.
