Something is amiss if the recommended corner speed is 45 mph and they're doing 35 or 40mph.

Well I roll forward a bit and second guess the distance of said SUV and decide since I hesitated that I will not risk pulling out in front of it and it actually does continue straight. Well apparently the guy in the Celica behind me goes ballistic that I am keeping him from getting home a whole extra minute of his day as I let the SUV pass and commences to squeezing his POS next to me and the ditch so he can turn right cuz its all clear in his direction. He is yelling and going crazy as he is pulling next to me to make the turn. I am laughing but also concerned that he does not side swipe me as he does this. I wish I hugged more to the right so he wouldn't of had any room to pull that manuever. I got home without incident but man some people need to chill the f@ck out!!!
