Wreck Avoidance Ouchy!
Jackass in a pickup drifted into my lane and I steered to keep from getting into a crash with him and clipped the curb.
Gave the guy a blast on the horn, he flipped me off and kept going, weaving over the lane dividing line.
Guess I need a dashcam for the car.
Haven't felt any ill effect from the hit, need to see how bad the wheel looks after I clean it off.

I learned long ago to be defensive. Avoid being in blind spots or to limit time in spaces where you have no out.
I have driven low cars for 40 years and often people just don’t see you. So it is up to you to know if you can be seen and or limit time iun closed in lanes where options are few.
Low cars are like motorcycles and you have to watch out for yourself as the other idiots won’t.

And, it wasn't that he didn't see me, he was passing me, and kept on weaving over the dividing line as he drove off.

The wheel cleaned up just fine, no scratches, just some rubber rubbed on it where the tire sidewall got pushed into it.
I do have another issue though, love bugs are out in SE Texas, and apparently they like yellow cars!
