This is why I prefer to run errands late at night

The bad drivers are all out during the day, especially on Sundays, and today was no exception. Let me start by saying 2 weeks ago to the day, and almost the time, I was hit by someone who did not signal, nor check her blind spot before changing lanes. She drove right into me. And 10 minutes ago I nearly got in another accident.

I was at the gas station, parked at the building, facing away from the pumps. Someone was parked at a pump behind me. I didn't see anyone driving away from the pumps while I was backing out. Yes, I was turned around to look. I did see someone coming up from the right, so I was watching her. My next move was to check my rearview mirror, but I didn't get a chance to because the guy at the pump pulled forward and almost clipped me. I hit the brake because I happened to hear him and see him out the corner of my eye. He couldn't wait 10 seconds for me to pull out and right myself?? I do understand that the onus is on me, since I was backing out, but still, if you see someone back out, why pull forward into her path?

Because they're playing the "Me first" game, without bothing to think that it nearly always ends in the big (vehicular) breakup.

Ooh, I hate that! Especially when you're turning onto another road, and you see a car coming but far enough away that you can make the turn, then they decide to GUN IT so they're right on your ass after you make the turn. Why? Why not stay at speed and give them time to make the turn? Because it's all about me me me on the road and we don't care about anyone else!
