Stupid drivers

Last week, I was driving home from an appointment I had in Salt Lake. Abby was at school and I was alone.

There wasn't a lot of traffic and I was driving with the speed of traffic. I usually drive in the fast lane until I reach the corner that goes around the mountain (Herriman) and then I move into the slow lane. (Us Utahan's call it "the point of the mountain".)

The point of the mountain can be dangerous. There are at least 6 lanes to drive in and it's a huge freeway! It sucks because the speed demons hit the corner going 95-100 miles per hour and then there's the traffic hazard drivers that slam on their brakes and drive under the speed limit. It's hard to tell what the cars upfront are going to do and you have to be prepared. I won't drive around it at night as I can't see very well at night and avoid the freeway.

SIDE STORY:
The one time I did drive around the point of the mountain, I was alone and it was dark outside. This was when they were still doing construction and so the traffic was sucked! I got overly religious as I made my way around the corner, people were passing me even though I was going the speed limit and I prayed God's ear off.  After made it around the mountain and I immediately got off the freeway the 1st chance I got. I found a parking lot and had a panic attack.

Anyhoo, some jerk comes rushing up behind me and had to drive way too close to me. If he wanted to drive that fast, why didn't he just pass me? I don't understand. There wasn't a ton of traffic. I was going over the speed limit but there is no way I am going to drive a million miles an hour. He must be starving for a ticket and an accident!!

Some people are so rude!
