The reason why you “almost” killed them is probably that they saw you and got out of the way in time. You on the other hand need to pay a little more attention.
When driving, it’s important that EVERYONE play by the same rules. Don’t surprise us “cage drivers” by doing something we have no reason to expect or know about. If cars can’t split lanes, don’t expect us to expect someone else to.
What you fail to understand, is that on any freeway there are curves. One of those bikes can come up on you in a split second out of a blind spot. Unless I keep my eyes continually in the rear view mirror, or have my head turned toward the back, I can’t possibly catch them.
I’m having to deal with stop and go traffic, trying to keep from rear ending someone in front of me, or a split second chance to change lanes, and you want me to solely concentrate on the traffic behind me.
That’s unrealistic, and a terrible dangerous mindset from you. It causes you to unrealistically think someone else will catch that glimpse of you in time, when it simply isn’t always possible.
Look at you. You blamed this on me, which clearly isn’t the case. You need to come to terms with that.
