Sometimes the infraction doesn't photograph so well. I have probably hundreds of attempts that fall into this category, and it seems I've had a bit of a dry spell for getting really good shots. Perhaps one day I'll post a series of these pics, the infractions are good, at least. Anyway, Granny called me on not having any recent posts, so I had to throw up SOMETHING.

I'll call this guy Ricky Racer. Too much engine up front and too little brain upstairs, and a tank of hi test burning a hole in his... injectors? The freeway was moving along at a decent clip, 70 or so mostly. Nothing to complain about or anything. Here comes Ricky Racer, up behind me probably pushing 90 or better. You see this kind of thing on a fairly regular basis, and it is usually predictable. He closes the gap quickly (surprise!) and within a couple of car lengths (in other words, at the last second) cuts to the right, with no signal or sign (other than the predictability of his ilk). Umm, hey Einstein, don't you think I'd be over there too if it were moving any better? He gets a little ahead of me (on his brakes the whole way because, HEY, there's a car over there, too!), moves around some into other lanes, ends up probably 5 cars or so behind me in the same lane again, and in his ADHD way keeps moving all over the road, on the throttle and the brake constantly. I wonder what kind of mileage hit that makes for. Anyway, he finally does end up ahead of me... six or seven miles up the road, and only then because I'm heading to the right (slower) lanes, because I'm exiting soon!
