Today my son-in-law calls after church. He is broke down on the side of the road with his van full of my grandkids. (Out of gas; gauge doesn't work, and it fooled him.)
He was on a stretch on Gallatin Rd near Gallatin where the shoulder is about as wide as the vehicle. I came and parked behind him, my wife comes along with a gas can about 20 minutes later. Now, he has to stand on the white line to put the gas in, so he's practically in traffic. I stand behind his van a little ways, waving cars over in to the left lane while he puts gas in.
Everything is going ok, people are politely getting over... then, this one asshole in a pretty big white pickup hauling an empty wire mesh trailer starts coming. No traffic in the left lane, plenty of room for him to get over. Instead, he starts bearing down on me, honks his horn, flying, and flips me off as he passes me!! Jerk!
1) Was I wrong to alert the traffic and get them to move over?
2) Yes, I was carrying. If I had presented it, would that have been more wrong?
