Wow, I'm glad you dodged that one. I also find that on 2 lane roads there are a lot of drivers that wander over the line coming at you. I guess driving is so boring that these guys need to do something else to entertain themselves while driving.

Ah the excitement of driving. And the smaller the car, the bigger the risk they seem to take.

I had an incident last month. I was traveling near Toronto at night and I was hit by this RV from behind. Well, the push was so harsh that I hit myself on the front glass. It was my fault too, as I wasn't wearing my seat belt. But I'm lucky that nothing serious happened, although I broke my front tooth. But the RV guy was good enough to take me to an emergency dental clinic in Toronto. It seems like his RV breaks were loose and that's what caused the accident.

Your absolutely right. Drivers drift towards me in the passing lane to numerous to keep up with. I installed a dash cam but it certainly won't record the day I finally get side swiped. I can't wait for all cars to be equipped with stay in your lane technology and ultimately self driving technology to make traveling the roads more safe. I can see that these drivers are either talking on or looking at their phones. I agree with you on being stressed and tired after 6 hours of driving.
