I can only assume that the situation started somewhere behind us and only intensified as all of us traveled south on I-35.
I’m traveling the speed limit, like I always do, when suddenly a small pickup zoomed up beside me on the left side and cut over 2 lanes of traffic in front of me to my right. Continue reading →
