Last Night

So mom the kids and I were coming home last night from Ikea. At 9:20pm a truck in front of me pulling a large trailer was signaling to turn right. So I start to slow down. (we were on RR232 heading back to Sherwood Park) so we were doing about 70km. And the truck took his time ok fine. Then I see in my rear view mirror and my side mirror this idiot on a motorcycle come up very quickly to my back end then he pulls out on my right side to pass! Yes the right side where the big trailer is turning. My poor mom just about left her seat. I thought the guy was going to take out my side mirror. I slammed on the brakes (I wasn't going that fast thank goodness). Blew the horn and the guy swerved in front of the van then again to miss the red trailer. There is no way that he didn't see the huge red trailer in front of me. I don't know what he was trying to prove.

So I hit the gas and caught up to him and got the plate number just before he turned. Got home and called the RCMP and told the officer what happened. He told me to write up a complaint and fax it to him and he'd send someone out to write up a warning to the idiot. He asked if i wanted to lay charges and I said no but a warning would be fine. Hopefully the fool will never do that again. I can't imagine what would of happened if he would of hit the trailer. He would of gone flying. And the biggest part of this ordeal is that my kids were with me. I wouldn't want them to witness such a thing. I'm just so thankful I wasn't going any faster and that I actually saw him coming. It was awful. But the main thing is we are all ok. But I'm sure the guy driving the truck had no idea why I was blowing the horn. Probably thought I was giving him heck for turning so slow. Which I wasn't.
