Modern Vespa

Geez people were in a hurry today and more than usual I have 2 mountains to go up to get out of where i live to civilization (used loosely). Anyway the one i usually take is 45mph pretty much straight uphill with a few bends and dips. There are 2 areas where it's the steepest that have wide shoulder lanes so trucks can pull over to let traffic go by if they can't do the speed limit. I started up the first steep spot doing 55mph, off in the distance behind me there are 2 cars, red one and a white one. Some oncoming traffic coming my way off in the distance also. About half way up i noticed the white car starting to come around me so i immediately let off the gas since the oncoming cars were close. I then looked again since i didn't see the red car and the red car was passing me on the right at the same time I was the middle of their vee around me First oncoming car has to go off the road to avoid getting hit since both cars after going around me were having a pissing contest to be the first one up the hill Damn good thing nobody crashed right in front of me. What idiots. I got the red cars plate number when i caught up to them a few minutes later. Did some errands and then decided to go report the assholes. Wasted time and i have never have done it before but i was pissed. I walk into the police station (it's on my way home) taking off my helmet saying "can i report" and the cop sitting behind the desk goes "are you the lady they tried to kill on the moped" Seems like some one that was a part of the fiasco was worried about the moped rider and had stopped in to file a report on both cars, they had both plate numbers Blows my mind to almost cause an accident to gain what a minute. About a mile up the road they got caught behind a truck with 10 cars behind it and i ended up following them into the next town. Jeez

That bit is hilarious.
The bit with the cars not so funny.
Being passed on the wrong side always freaks me out.

Glad you made it through unscathed.

Could've or Could have Could of been really screwed today

+1 on both points.

All that and now you have to sit through an English class. You poor thing! Glad you and your moped are okay.

tourists from the mainland?

Oh good grief on the english lesson CHANGERANG no it was locals. Tourists usually drive convertibles or jeeps and go 2 miles an hour since they are usually looking at a map trying to figure where they are

Judy..thank God you're O.K...I got something about riding on weekends...seems like all the crazies come out:

1. The one's that don't get a chance to drive during the week
2. The one's that believe it's time to go crazy on the road...being "caged" up all week.

Regardless no excuse.

Jeeze...just got to exercise a little restraint out there...you know being behind a propelled weapon weighing in @ 1.5 to 2 tons...

Glad you filed a Police Report...hopefully with your corroboration with the other report something can be done to have this person charged with reckless endagering...got to figure that the other oncoming cager was also forced off the road.

Take care and see you later this month.

Oh...you mean the local bruddahs with the macho or ass-a-nine attitude... or both. I get a few of those too in town too. I agree the tourist are usually those who drive a bit slower to insure they catch the sights or lost..or both.

BTW. I've had more than my fair share of folks that pull along side me and ask me for directions...I guess I look approachable enough..."no mo dat attitude look...."

TB yeah but i doubt anything will be done. I'm amazed that somebody other than me thought it was a problem I've seen some weird stuff on that road but today was kind of scary. Anybody who uses that road is guilty of really speeding but not doing what the yahoo's did today.
