Here's a little "cruise" story from a couple of days ago ... you need to be from the Burg to really envisage the environment.
Came back from Lowes the "back" way - to hook up with Ellett / Luster's Gate. Got stuck behind a big pickup as soon as I got on there, then caught up with a little Camry at the train tracks.
By this time I was a bit pissed off, since the Camry was going even slower than the bloody truck. Finally get to the passing zone after the 81 turnoff. This was two lanes, mostly straight, but a little undulating. No major cross streets, but some driveways.
Pull out from behind the truck, hit about 60 or so by the time I'm past the truck. The guy in the Camry decides he's turning left.
Luckily I'm past him before he crosses out of his lane, but it seemed pretty close.
Sometimes I'm grateful for the brown leather upholstery.
So just remember ... be careful if you're passing people on a road with turnoffs.
