If it had not been for the quick thinking and outstanding maneuvers my wife executed while driving tonight on the bridge, we would have been in a very serious head on collision!
Some A-hole going northbound in rush hour traffic about 4:50 PM evidently thought taking their eyes of the road to do whatever was more important than driving. The older Ford Explorer (possibly brown) veered across into the southbound lane and did not notice until they hit and bounced off the opposite side barrier! Only by the grace of God my wife was able to maneuver around them by using the opposite lane as the person that was driving the Ford showed no signs of stopping. Only after we passed each other, UK style in opposite lanes, did the driver cross back into their lane and hit their brakes.
Not only would this had been a very bad head on collision, it took place at the top of the bridge and all we could think about as we gathered our composure was we could have also ended up going over the side.
What is it going to take for people to understand that all you should be doing while driving is DRIVING! Especially in rush hour traffic on a two lane bridge 140 feet in the air.
Unless this individual was having a medical emergency which was evident they weren't as they drove off fine, there is no excuse for this, my wife and I could be dead now all because some a-hole thought they had something more important to do other than driving!
I've vented now, thanks for listening.
