Good tell.. You forgot this emoticon

Most of what Debbie says is the way I saw it as well, except I'm pretty sure she is over estimating some of the distances by 5 feet or so...

I swear he was on top of her headed down the hill, 5 feet tops at 80+ for quite a while(We all make space changing lanes at times, but the distances seldom stay that small for very long)... And when he swerved into her lane basically on top of her after she pulled over, I swear they missed by inches, and all she had was guard rail, and a significant drop to her right...

Now I will follow people I know and who know me with only 5', sometimes less between us on a track at 80 under controlled conditions, but that is about it. This was some scarry $4!+ from my perspective.

There is nothing more dangerous than menace in a 3+ ton SUV, and from my perspective Debbie was playing a game she could not possibly win.

I am just very happy that everything turned out OK...

Oh, and this was about the same time as we came accross the Pickup truck with the yellow nylon rope dragging behind it... I think Debbie said she was glad it didn't have a dog attached, and I in my warped and dark sense of humor said "anymore..."
