Had a white car ,,pass peg and I, around 430.yesterday,dang near caused a head on collision… came up from behind me as I was driving west,,at a crazy amount of speed, on the bridge and barely barely got back in,, it was at the in a no passing zone.
You’d have thought that would have scared the crap out of them… but nope!! Kept it hammered,,, had to be goin at no less than 80 mph!!
I swerved to the ditch,, because I just knew he was gonna hit that oncoming car,,, I have no idea how he got back in without wrecking.
It was seriously that close.
This person should not be operating a motor vehicle period!! Reckless driving at high rates of speed.
This is how innocent people get killed . My very last post on trapperman came very close to reality yesterday.

I had a very similar situation happen about two hours ago, and for once, the on coming traffic just happened to be led by a deputy. I smiled and waved as I passed them on the shoulder. Glad you're ok.

Yeah, I’d like to take out a couple million dollars worth of insurance on you.

One of these days my luck is gonna run out!!
What is even more interesting, is that I made a post about this on an area group on Facebook, hoping that the individual responsible for that, might possibly see the post, as it covers a very large area.
The guy in the other car, in the oncoming lane commented as well,,, he went on to say that had I not swerved, there was a very good chance that he, his girlfriend and and grandson might have been killed.
Said when that car barely got back in , it rocked his car as it went past.
He thanked me for being able to pull over in time to avoid the accident..
