I nearly totaled the Viggen last night. The wife and I were coming back from Ikea in Burlington (got some kick ass Poang Chairs) around 9pm. We were heading up highway 6 which is basically a four lane regional road with lots of cops. So we are heading up the hill and thru a construction zone. The construction zone ended and getting near top of the hill I am driving past a transport truck around 60 mph. When out of nowhere he starts drifting over in my lane and puts his signals on like he is coming over. So I react very calmly and drift into the center of the road (no oncoming traffic). Got to remember its very dark... I start givin her more gas to get past before he rubs me out. Next thing I know there is a island curb coming up with a small sign on it. I'm like fuk.... I give her and thread the needle between the curb and the truck which was almost entirely in my lane. It must have been so close... would love to see an instant replay. I look in my mirror and he is totally in my lane. Turns out he must have seen the Tim Horton’s sign at the last second and went for it as he needed to make a left turn at the top of the hill. I was in a bit of shock after that. Funny thing is my wife said she was totally calm and confident in me.
I thank God nothing happened.... we have a 2 year old daughter that needs us. I could have hit the curb and spun in front of the truck. Fuck that was close.
Damn tired lazy ass truck driver. I should have turned back and told him off.
