speed doesn't kill you, the idiot driving the car does.
i remember a time a few years ago,i was on my way home from work on the 40, in that part of montreal it's 3 lanes in each direction. i was in the middle lane doing about 110 kph(100 is the limit).there was an onramp coming up and a car was getting ready to merge, i didn't think much of it, it was 12:15 at night and there was absolutely no traffic. i figured the car would stay in the far right lane to pick up some speed(like most people with a brain do) but nope!.right from the onramp to the middle lane, i did an emergency stop and by the time i scrubbed off enough speed to avoid hitting the car i looked at my speedo and i was doing 50 kph(minimum legal speed on the highway here is 60) there was about 5 feet of space between our cars.
i moved over to the left and speed up a bit to get beside the car,some middle aged women with her hands welded on the 10 and 2.
i was there for about 2 minutes before she noticed me...
people like that scare the hell out of me..
i don't want to know what would have happened if she did that at 12 in the afternoon instead...<shudders>
