I failed to post the scariest moment of the traffic jam.

My car was surrounded on three sides by 18-wheelers. Doofus driving the 18-wheeler in front of me let his truck roll backwards ... and backwards ... and backwards ... I laid on my horn, and the driver on the 18-wheeler behind me laid on *his* horn, and the doofus finally woke up and applied the brakes when he was 6" or so from my bumper. NOT FUN.

And yes, I was leaving a good amount of space between us. I can't imagine why he thought that letting his truck roll backwards that far in a traffic jam was a good idea.

And this is why I hightail it anytime there's anything resembling a 18-wheeler near me.

Didn't have much choice at the time, as I was quite effectively boxed in. :)

which is why smaller towns are such lovely things to live in.

Grew up in a smaller town. Drove me insane. I'm a city girl at heart. :D

Eeek! This is the kind of thing that makes me reluctant to go after my driver's license. Although I really should get mine before I turn 30.

I would love to live in a country with decent public transportation. However, especially being in Texas, I must own a car. :D (Although within 2 years there should be a new train station within walking distance of my job, so with luck I'll be able to move to some area where I can take the train in.)

So now you understand my terror of September 22 - http://fmanalyst.livejournal.com/38681.html. There's little more frightening to me than being boxed in by semis.

I can't imagine why he thought letting his truck roll backwards at all was a good idea. Idjit.

Ironically, that was almost exactly what I screamed over the phone to my mom at the time, as I was fumbling for my horn. XD She understood when I explained to her after the guy stopped.
