[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1451694, member: 35438"] That didn't stop you from posting. :cool: Yes, I'm also a cager and was, in fact being a cager in a pickup pulling a travel trailer, when I witnessed one of the most idiotic deliberate acts I've ever seen. I was following two pickups pulling travel trailers in the right lane of a 3-lane interstate. We came to a split where the right lane must go right, the left lane must go left, and the center lane can go either direction. It should have been no surprise because there were huge green interstate signs with directions well in advance of the split, and the center lane was open. Yet, they pulled up to the point of no return to the right and just stopped leaving all three of us just sitting there. I was trying to watch for an opening to pull into the left lane so I could go on, and just as I started to move, both of them turned left, from that right-hand lane, across the left lane and the triangle separating the two highway onto the right-hand lane of the other direction. There's no way the could have had an adequate line of sight around the curve and through me to be sure there wasn't someone coming in that center lane. I was pretty much helpless sitting there dead still with a 1/2-ton pickup and a 3-ton trailer and a freeway with 75-mph+ traffic while they both completely blocked the only through lane. I said "idiotic deliberate act" to point out that they were faced with the decision of: (A) missing their exit and coming back or (B) endangering the lives of everyone else in the vicinity And they both chose B -- deliberately. And that was truly idiotic. [/QUOTE]
