This is one of my personal pet peeves.
Due to construction or whatever, the left lane is closed. There's plenty of warning, ie signs like "LEFT LANE CLOSED 1/4 MILE AHEAD". Most folks move over to the right when it's convenient.
But there's always that one-in-a-hundred driver for whom it's NEVER convenient. They roar past the line of more-considerate folks, all the way to the end, then turn on their blinker to be "let in" ahead of a tenth-mile of waiting cars.
Well, the shiny Benz that zipped by yesterday was using his blinker AND his windshield wipers.
I executed the perfect "timing shot". The cough. The hark. A deep breath. Two practice strokes and a pause to check oncoming velocity in the mirror. Finally the launch, and a walnut-sized glob of yellow snot is swept away by the passing windshield. Hope he was going to lunch. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif
