On the way home from the Bremerton Raceway bike event yesterday, I was coming into the little drive-through area of Gorst, merging onto the main highway, and a SUV drove out from under an overpass on the left, crossing in front of me. I braked lightly but then saw one of those massive jacked up pickups waiting to do the same. My internal "yellow light" went on and, sure enough, he pulled out right in front of me and I had to grab the binders to avoid T-boning him.
As I came to a stop I raised my left arm as in "What the heck's the matter with you IDIOT". He never even looked at me, keeping his eyes straight ahead. I then noticed his little girl-child in the passenger seat who saw me, thought I was waiving at her, and started waving back at me. Of course the old grandpa heart melted and I turned my "idiot" gesture into a friendly wave. She kept smiling and waving until her idiot father pulled into the parking lot on the right.
I started follow him in to tell him he almost killed me but thought better of it; not with his child l in the truck.
