I'm sure the SUV driver was annoyed that I was delaying him, somehow. Speed limit on residential streets is 25 mph, but traffic goes by at 40-45 mph all the time. My plan is to come home in a different direction from now on, so I'll be turning right into my driveway. Had I turned, the SUV would have totaled my 2020 Soul. Sobering.
