    Maybe he was blocked from changing lanes. That's happened to me a few times. I've slowed to almost a complete stop with left turn signal on, and people still block me and give me the finger for trying to change lanes.

    Yeah, but 1/2 mile runs out quickly on a crowded freeway.

    But Riseburg, OR? I've been there before. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere.
