I wonder if the highway patrol guy was helping our the trucker. He was telling me I pulled into his lane, yet there there no lane. So while he was arguing with me the truck took off. I was practically on top of the car in front of me trying to prevent any more vehicles cutting in front of me. I always allow vehicles who need to cut in front alternately. It always seems polite to alternate. But this guy was huge. And counted as 3 cars.

I swear if I wasn't so upset by the relentlessness of this stall and lane changing around me I'd be calm and more giving. I got in the lane I needed and stayed there. Everyone else seemed to be jumping from lane to lane.

I fear the insurance company is going to say this was my fault. Yet I was trying so hard to be calm, cool and collected. A lot of good that did me.
