I always drive defensibly because everyone else isn't. Expect the unexpected!!!

idiots are all over the road. I always tried to be prepared for the unexpected. Like this moring for example. Its a 3 lane highway and I am in the far left lane since I am getting ready to turn off at a store. No cars around me. This guy pulls out from the gas station on the left and doesnt even look my way just jumps out. Right as I am at him he flies out the parking lot. So I did a fast dodge to get out of the way and layed on my horn. Got the guys attention. Had some1 been to my right I would have been screwed.

Another person pulled right out in front of me right as i was passing the road they were turning off. they did it so slowly like it was ok. Not ok when I am running 50mph luckily no one was in the left lane so I dodged them.
