I was on a four lane divided highway today. Not much traffic.
A beat up car was passing me. I looked over and could see the driver was distracted, though I am not sure what the distraction was.
At any rate he started to move over into my lane while next to me, no signal.
I do not know if he forgot I was there, or was drunk or something.
It is possible the strong wind was blowing him over.
I braked and he went on by. If I had been in the left track of the lane he would have hit me.
I am not sure what the lesson is, perhaps maintain a bigger margin around beat up old cars with distracted drivers.
Or stay in the right track when being passed, especially if downwind.
