He was looking at his lap (texting?) I have a rule. When you see someone do something stupid they will do ANOTHER thing stupid. Rather than speed up and edge around him I slowed down and changed lanes stage right. About another 200 yards down the road stupid drifted right into the dividing wall between the spilt highway. I was 100 yards behind him and to the right when he came to a stop sideways in the middle of traffic. About half a dozen cars either hit him or one another as they tried to avoid numbnuts.
Yeah it's the only way to survive here too, especially on two wheels, gotta keep asking yourself, what is the most insane thing each other driver could do, and expect it to actually happen... Just last week I had a motorcyclist come out of a side road without even looking and cutting right across into the inner lane, into my path... Luckily he reacted to the horn and stuck to the outer lane!
