For the second time recently, [View all]

I was driving up my street, getting ready to turn left into my driveway. My turn signal was on, and I was on the correct side of the street. As I always do, I looked in my mirror to make sure nobody was behind me coming up the street before making the turn. As I looked, a white SUV sped past me on my left, doing about 45 mph. Since I was checking my rear, I did not turn into the car.

Another white SUV did the same thing in the same situation a couple of months ago. It could have been the same one. I don't know.

Why am I writing this? It's a cautionary post. Always be sure to check behind you before turning left into your driveway. There could easily be an impatient driver who speeds by on your left, despite your turn signal and slow speed.

Scary stuff.
