Difference of Opinion

So I was heading home tonight, following a Ford Explorer on a somewhat narrow road. I was beginning to get nervous because the driver was hugging the edge of the road to the point where the tires were hanging partially off the edge. At first I was sure something was wrong and that he was going to run off the road...but he seemed to hug the turns and keep it just on the brink of tipping. I noticed this behavior in the first place due to the large space between the center yellow lines and the left side of the car -this looked kind of awkward since I could see straight in front of him as if he wasn't even there.

It was at that point I drove past a tractor trailer (my windows and sunroof were open) and felt the air pressure change which startled me a bit. I tend to drive close to the center line...so the truck effected my car differently than the explorer.

I guess everyone has their own way of doing things, each with their own pros and cons...it is especially eye opening when noticing these differences in a situation where it is least expected. Who knew the evening commute could be so philosophical?
