I was coming home from work today and I was in the right hand lane. There was an 18 wheeler in the left hand lane. I was already weary of this guy as we were coming around some curves and he was slightly over the line into my lane. Then when the road straightened back out, he just comes on over. He almost ran over me! I had to brake fast. If I hadn't, he would have hit me and totaled my car, if he hadn't killed me in the process. I didn't have anywhere to go. I braked, he got into the lane, and I continued to drive, although I was very shaken. I was hesitant to try to pass him again. When he went to get on the interstate, I noticed he was on his cell phone. Go figure. I thought about stopping in the Sam's Club parking lot so I could calm down, but I knew that once I stopped driving I wouldn't be able to start again, I got home and had a good sob in the driveway, then I came in and basically haven't been able to stop shaking. I told my roommate if we go anywhere tonight, she's driving.
